Biking to Lago di Braies is an awesome ebike tour if you want to discover by emtb one of the famous lake in the Dolomites area.
After starting our ebike tour from Carbonin we will deviate for Pratopiazza following a path that has a pleasant and easy climb. At first you climb through the woods, then the vegetation becomes sparser, up to below the Vallandro hut which remains perched on a hill, once dominated by a fort.
The following stretch crosses the vast plateau at the foot of the Croda Rossa, marvelous in its thousand shades of colour.
You then continue towards Braies Lake, until you reach it with gentle slopes.
The mirror of crystal clear water nestled between the rocks of Croda del Beco will offer an unforgettable spectacle. Located at 1496 meters above sea level, Lake Braies boasts a surface area of 31 hectares and a maximum depth of 36 meters and is the largest lake in the Dolomites.
Its origins are rooted in legend. It is said of savages who came to the mountains of the Braies Valley in search of precious stones and gold. When they managed to find something of great value, they sparked the envy of the shepherds of the valley, who tried to rob them. However, to protect the loot, the savages opened underground fountains and then hid the treasure in Lake Braies, giving it the brilliant color that we can admire today.
The return takes place on an asphalt road and cycle path up to Carbonin.
