Lago di Molveno Attractions

A road runs north from Riva through magnificent scenery of the hamlet of Foci del Varone, near which is the Cascata del Varone, a waterfall in a gloomy gorge, and Ponte delle Arche (26km/16 mi; alt. 401m/1,323ft), an old road intersection where S.S. 237 runs east through the magnificent Sarca gorge to Trento and west through the wild Gola della Scaletta to Tione. 20km/12 mi farther north from Ponte delle Arche is the beautiful blue Lago di Molveno (alt. 821m/2,709ft; 4 km/2.5 mi long, up to 119m/393ft deep), below Monte Gazza (1,990m/6,567ft) to the east and the precipitous crags of the Brenta group to the west. At the north end of the lake is Molveno, a summer holiday resort, with a chair-lift to Pradel (1,342m/4,429ft) and the Palòn di Torre (1,530m/5,049ft), to the north.
