Leaping into the Past<br />
ledro<br />
Lake Ledro lies in the peaceful<br />
oasis of Val di Ledro between<br />
the peaks of the Brenta group<br />
and the shores of Lake Garda.<br />
The lake is situated at an altitude<br />
of 655 metres and covers<br />
an area of over 2 square<br />
kilometres. Along its shores<br />
at Molina di Ledro, you can see<br />
the remains of a lake dwelling<br />
site dating back to the Bronze<br />
Age. This is an extremely valuable<br />
archaeological site that<br />
also hosts the Lake Dwelling<br />
Museum where all the finds<br />
(necklaces, utensils, ploughs,<br />
canoes) are conserved and<br />
where an animated programme<br />
called “Palafittando”<br />
is held every summer: a real<br />
leap into the past where you<br />
can use the boats and utensils<br />
of prehistoric man.<br />
Guests staying in any one of<br />
the 29 hotels, 4 campsites<br />
and 3 B&Bs of Lake Ledro<br />
can practise many kinds of<br />
sport including canyoning on<br />
the Palvico Torrent and the Rio<br />
Nero. Boats, pedalos, catamarans,<br />
windsurf boards and<br />
canoes can be hired on the<br />
Pieve, Mezzolago and Molina<br />
beaches. Pieve is the centre<br />
of the local sailing association,<br />
which organises courses for<br />
children in the Optimist and<br />
Derive classes. It is also possible<br />
to obtain permits for fishing<br />
on the lake.<br />
