The Pragser Wildsee in the Dolomites, Italy

In every season, Pragser Wildsee enchants travellers with its ever-changing allure. The lake, also known as Lago di Braies, is nestled in the Italian Dolomites in Fanes Senes Braies Nature Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This enchanting lake is surrounded by mountains, with an elevation of 1,469 metres above sea level and boasting a maximum depth of 36 metres. During winter, Pragser Wildsee transforms into a mesmerising vision as ice and snow blanket its surface, while in summer, it beckons hikers to embark on adventures, with rowboats available for those who wish to get out on the water.
