Lago di Tenno

Lake Lake Garda, Italy

Lake Tenno is a lake located in the municipality of the same name, a few steps from the medieval village of Canale di Tenno (or Villa Canale). The basin is of unique origin and was formed following the landslide of the Ville del Monte hill which blocked the course of its tributary. The lake has a surface area of approximately 195,190 m², and is considered the sixth largest lake in Trentino.

The Tenno lake, with its crystal clear water and uncontaminated surroundings, is an island of tranquillity, and ideal for swimming. It is called “the blue lake” because the surrounding forests and the white stones of its bed give it a blue-green hue. The Tenno lake can be reached only on foot, after a short walk down a flight of steps dating back from medieval times. Tenno benefits from a typically Mediterranean climate, even if it is immersed in the Alpine environment. The characteristic local terraced plantations include olive groves, vineyards and chestnut groves.
