South Tyrolean lakes are a perfect outdoor gym for sports enthusiasts: Swimming, sailing, surfing and stand up paddleboarding in summer, ice skating and hockey in winter are only some of the possibilities. Those who seek relaxation, however, may enjoy one of the pleasant lake hiking trails. Ponds such as Lake Braies and Lake Anterselva are known far beyond borders for their unique natural beauty and are partly protected in one of the nature parks in South Tyrol, whereas e.g. Lake Caldaro and Lake Costalovara on the Renon High Plateau are also popular bathing ponds.
