At one end of the lake, around 435 yards away, the pretty town of Molveno beckons, offering small beaches perfect for swimming and boating. Meanwhile, verdant forests and winding pathways surround the seven-mile shoreline, making it a paradise for nature lovers. The drive to/from the airport takes approximately two hours.
