Route Description
The Weissbrunn Lake lies at the head of Val d’Ultimo, right at the gateway to the Stelvio National Park. The final stretch of road is narrow and winding – a challenge for less experienced drivers. An easier option is the regular public bus, which takes you directly to the lake.
From the paid parking area next to the lake, you can set off on an easy stroller-friendly circuit. The wide lakeside paths are ideal for a leisurely and stroller-friendly family walk. Afterwards, the meadows at the water’s edge invite you to spread out a blanket, enjoy a picnic, relax or let the kids play. In summer, dipping your feet into the refreshing mountain water or splashing at the shoreline makes the day even more memorable.
For food and drinks, you’ll find the Weissbrunn Bergestaurant and the cozy Weissbrunn Hut (Weissbrunn Almhüttl) directly at the lake (check opening hours in advance!).
