Lago di Braies | Sud Tyrol | Val Pusteria

Lago di Braies/Lake Braies is one of the most photographed lakes in the Dolomites, if not the most photographed Italian mountain lake of all.

Nestles between tall peaks reflecting into its crystal clear waters, the lake became Instagram’s darling a few years ago and has attracted an increasing number of visitors ever since.

You that beautiful lake, photographed with dreamy wooden boats on green waters and the backdrop of tall mountains that look out of a fairy tale?

That is Lake Braies or, as it is called locally: Lago di Braies / Pragzsee.
