Overview
Molveno is a historic holiday resort, located on the northern shore of the lake of the same name, with the Brenta Dolomites as a luxurious setting. For the sum of its resources and the efficiency of visitor services, Molveno has obtained the recognition of the Orange Flag, with which the Touring Club indicates the most valid among the minor tourist resorts. The small municipality, with just over 1,000 residents, has a long history: the area was inhabited as far back as the Neolithic period, the Romans established their own settlement here, but it was in the Middle Ages that it took on a certain importance. At that time there was a Castle of Molveno, belonging to the Counts of Flavòn, which was demolished at the end of the 14th century.
On the other hand, the jewel that is the church of St Vigilio, dating back to the thirteenth century,survives at the cemetery.
Molveno preserves some medieval parts in the portico of the so-called Casa del Dazio, as well as the Baroque Palazzo Saracini.
During your stay, you should take into account: a walk around the lake, with the many activities you can do on its shores, and towards the suggestive Valle delle Seghe; a visit to the ancient Venetian sawmill Taialacqua; hiking on the paths within reach of the Molveno Pradel and Andalo ski lifts to Cima Paganella. The village is also a real paradise for families: children can have fun in the well-equipped areas of the lake, at the Forest Park of Molveno, with a walk on the Sciury path or the Pumptrack.
