A place that combines Mediterranean ease with an Alpine backdrop:
Lake Kaltern – just three kilometers from Tramin – is one of the warmest bathing lakes in the Alps. Surrounded by vineyards and reed beds, it offers nature, tranquility, and active experiences all at once. Whether cycling along the South Tyrolean Wine Road, hiking to Leuchtenburg Castle, or taking a dip in the water – the lake shows off its best side in every season. Cypress trees, vines, and the lakeshore are reminiscent of the south, while the peaks of the Dolomites watch overhead. Rustic wine taverns and wine cellars with the famous Gewürztraminer beckon. Here, two cultures, languages, and lifestyles meet – a region that unites contrasts while embracing its own unique identity.
Discover Tramin and Lake Caldaro – natural, enjoyable, and an experience in every season.

Public transport is also convenient and quick – you can find all current connections at any time in the Südtirolmobil app, ideal for when you’re on the go.
For those who prefer a more active approach:
You can reach the lake on foot in about two hours, or even faster by bike, enjoying magnificent views of the vineyards and countryside along the way.
From mid–May to the end of September, four bathing establishments around Lake Kaltern invite you to sunbathe, swim, and relax: Lido am See, Gretl am See, Seegarten, and Klughammer offer well-maintained lawns, direct lake access, and magnificent views. There’s also a small wooden jetty near the Lido restaurant—perfect for a spontaneous dip in the cool water. Incidentally, Lake Kaltern is the warmest bathing lake in the Alps—ideal conditions for an unforgettable summer day!
Lake Kaltern is not only the warmest bathing lake in the Alps, but also a true nature and leisure experience – all year round. Whether swimming, pedal boating, windsurfing, or sailing: the lake invites you to actively explore. Numerous restaurants and bathing establishments all around offer culinary delights in a relaxed atmosphere. Hikes to Leuchtenburg Castle, excursions through the Frühlingstal valley to the Montiggl lakes, or walks along the biotope on the southern shore also offer a variety of experiences. And in particularly cold winters, the lake even transforms into a glittering ice skating rink – for special moments off-season.
