Lago di Lases (Lago di Lases)

Lago di Lases is a small, tranquil lake in the Valle di Cembra, the porphyry-quarrying valley north-east of Trento famous for its terraced vineyards and dry-stone walls. Set among wooded hills beside the village of Lases, the lake is clear and clean, with grassy and pebble shores and a small lido that make it a pleasant, low-key swimming spot well away from the busier lakes of the Valsugana. The water is fresh and comfortably swimmable in summer, and the modest lido provides a swimming area, grassy lawns, a seasonal bar and pedalo hire, with lifeguards on duty at peak times. Because it sees far fewer visitors than Caldonazzo or Levico, Lases retains a genuinely local, relaxed atmosphere, popular with Trentino families, anglers and walkers rather than mass tourism. The lake is partly fed by springs and has a reputation for clean water, and the surrounding hills offer easy walking and cycling, while the terraced vineyards of the Cembra valley — source of distinctive mountain wines including sparkling Trentodoc — provide a scenic and gastronomic backdrop. A small neighbouring lake adds to the quiet natural setting. The lack of large facilities is part of the charm: this is a place for a simple swim, a picnic on the lawns and a walk in the hills rather than a resort day. For travellers seeking a peaceful, clear, uncrowded lake within easy reach of Trento, Lago di Lases is a rewarding and authentic choice.
