Ice mirrors

In the heart of winter, there are many lakes in Trentino where the frost transforms the ripples of water into shiny frozen boards. The whiteness and play of light it creates give visitors picturesque views while ensuring the survival of aquatic species. Ice protects against the cold, but it also prevents the passage of light and oxygen, requiring plants and animals to make special adaptations.

Reaching these places is not always difficult; some frozen lakes are found at modest altitudes, such as Lake Ampola in Valle di Ledro, Lake Cei in Vallagarina, the Lamar lakes or Lake Santa Colomba in Val di Cembra.Adding to the allure of ice is that of wilder nature when you stop in front of the alpine landscapes of Lake Tovel, Lake Nero in Val Nambrone or Lake Nambino, perhaps with a pair of snowshoes or skis.

Whatever your destination, stop safely and enjoy a scenery that, year by year, becomes more rare and precious.
