3 Lake Molveno – a jewel at the foot of the Dolomites
Today we undertake a pleasant hike around stunning Lake Molveno. We make our way to the ruins of the Napoleonic Fortifications, constructed by the Austrians to hold back Napoleon Bonaparte, and then on to the fort huts.

We will then board a coach for the last part of the journey to Lake Ledro. The lake’s green-blue colour and breath-taking natural surroundings are captivating. Here the Foletto Family await you in their old apothecary, which has been in business for more than a century. A fascinating tour introduces us to the world of the healing properties of plants and herbs and can show us how they produce cosmetic skin creams using the same methods and ingredients originally used over a century ago – a wonderful experience.
