Tret between Lago di Tret, waterfall and mountain culture
Accommodation in Tret
In Tret, nature experiences, physical activity, local craftsmanship and sacred architecture come together along both short and more demanding routes. Lago di Tret is an alpine lake at an altitude of 1,605 metres on the border between the provinces of Trento and Bolzano. Cascata di Tret is located in the Tret district and can be experienced both from an easier path above the waterfall and via a more demanding route to its base.
To Lago di Tret and Cascata di Tret
From the car park, the path follows Sentiero No. 512 and gains about 350 metres in altitude, reaching Lago di Tret in approximately one hour. Another hike to Lago di Tret takes about 40 minutes from Loc. Plazze di Tret. The different starting points and the explicitly approximate time estimates provide a practical basis for comparing routes and planning your day accordingly.
An easy walk along a comfortable gravel road from the centre of Tret reaches the viewpoint above Cascata di Tret. From the car park behind Albergo Aurora in Tret, the waterfall can be reached in 15 minutes. The Cascata di Tret variant of the Cammino Jacopeo d'Anaunia allows hikers to see the waterfall from below in a natural gorge. The Anello nel Canyon del Mondino circular route can also be extended to Cascata di Tret.
