Caldonazzo Lake
The largest lake of Valsugana is the lake of Caldonazzo, surrounded by very beautiful walks in the green and the villages of Calceranica al Lago, Caldonazzo and Tenna, whose restaurants and pubs liven up the summer nights.
The wide private beaches, owned by the campsites go hand in hand with free beaches and seaside resorts, offering services and bars, penny arcade, areas for kids and restaurants. But other activities are also waiting for you: you can rent a paddle boat or take part in the numerous initiatives organized by the four nautical clubs, competitions and regattas, even at international level.
The Lake of Caldonazzo is the only one in this area where you can try water skiing as well. Angling is also very popular.
