Stories and guides on Val di Ledro: nature, culture, sport and traditions, to make the most of your holiday.
Val di Ledro has a history spanning millennia: 4,000 years ago, during the Bronze Age, the lakeshore was home to a pile-dwelling village, still partly preserved today and recognised by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site.
Between 1914 and 1918 Val di Ledro was the scene of fierce fighting along the border between the Austro-Hungarian Empire and the Kingdom of Italy. Trenches, walkways and tunnels are still visible along the high-altitude trails.
Clear turquoise waters where in summer you can swim, dive and enjoy sailing, canoeing and windsurfing. Lake Ledro is truly a corner of paradise, an oasis for a holiday of sport and relaxation amid fairy-tale scenery.
Clear, clean and safe for swimming: Lake Ledro is perfect for sunbathing, swimming or practising water sports, thanks to four equipped public beaches, one of which is pet friendly.
