This short walk begins on the west side of Lake Antorno where visitors will find a small public parking lot. The trail leads in both north/south directions, but this trail guide heads north first. Along the Lago d'Antorno Trail, you'll find Alps views to the east of the limestone peaks that tower over the lake. When we arrived near sunset, the sunlight was illuminating the peaks and made for fantastic photo opportunities.Just below the main path sits a small footbridge that crosses a tributary stream. With the wooden footbridge in the foreground and the majestic Alps of the Dolomites in the background, the western side of Lago d'Antorno is one of the best, easy access locations in the Italian Alps to take photos.
The trail continues north before it curves around the northern shore of Lake Antorno. Eventually, you'll find yourself on the east side of the lake where the trail begins to head south along the water's edge. More Alps views can be found on the east side of Lago d'Antorno and you'll even find fun mushroom-shaped tree stumps that were carved by locals.
Finally, the trail follows a raised boardwalk on the south shore before it runs along the dirt path to reach the parking lot. Wrap up the trail at 0.72 km (0.45 miles) to complete this easy walk around Lago d'Antorno.
