South Tyrol boasts beautiful lakes, some well-known, others more hidden and less crowded in the summer. The lakes offer a great way for families to cool off during the warmer months. Many of the outdoor pools are family-friendly, with baby pools or children’s pools and sometimes even a playground. If you prefer to spend your summer days in the fresh mountain air, be sure to check out the hikes for hot summer days.
