The Lago di Lamar is an alpine lake in the Valle dei Laghi, in southwestern Trentino, located at 750/800 meters above sea level. It is situated between the northern slopes of Monte Soprasasso, which separate it from the underlying Adige Valley (to which its hydrographic basin belongs) to the east, and the Paganella that rises to the west. Due to its unique position, it can be attributed both to the Valle dei Laghi, due to geographical proximity, and to the Adige Valley basin.
How to reach
From Trento, along the state road of the Valle dei Laghi (SS45Bis) towards Riva del Garda, turn after Cadine towards Terlago and continue to Monte Terlago, beyond there is Lago di Lamar.
Description
It covers an area of 45,000 square meters, has no significant inflows or outflows but only small streams, and, likely, submerged springs. Nearby is Lago Santo. It has an average depth of about 4 meters in the northern part, while the southern part has a bathing area with water about 1–2 meters deep. The surrounding environment features beech and fir trees. There is a good presence of fauna, which is rarely disturbed by non-invasive tourism.
Trivia
On the southern shore, about thirty meters above the lake’s surface, lies the Abisso di Lamar, a deep cave linked to the karst system that characterizes the entire area.
Along the lake’s shores, there are several points from which it is possible to dive into the water.
In recent years, the lake has become a popular destination in the world of technical-recreational diving, given its lakebed and geologically significant rock formations. The lake has recently been chosen as a training ground for cave diver training by some of the world’s leading instructors in the field. However, visibility is variable and often poor.
On the western shore, near the beach, there is a bar-pizzeria.
