Idro

Welcome to Italy in Photos, where we invite you to discover the tranquil Lake Idro – Lake Idro, also known as Lago di Idro, is a hidden gem nestled in the Lombardy region of Italy. At 368 meters above sea level, it stands as the highest of the Lombard prealpine lakes. This tranquil lake, with its crystal-clear waters, is filled by the river Chiese. Its surface area spans 11.4 square kilometres, and its maximum depth reaches 122 meters. Lake Idro lies just around the corner from the famous Lake Garda, offering a quieter alternative for those seeking natural beauty away from the bustling crowds. The drive around the entire lake covers approximately 15 miles, revealing picturesque towns and awe-inspiring mountain vistas. The temperature here can vary significantly from Lake Garda, so pack accordingly – it’s not uncommon for it to drop from 28°C to around 20°C when you stop for that perfect lakeside photo. Crone, a charming district on the east coast of Lake Idro, adds to its allure. Here, you’ll find quaint churches and a sense of tranquillity that contrasts with the more famous neighbouring lake. The churches in Crone, such as S. Martino, offer glimpses into local history and culture. Whether you explore Lake Idro by canoe, pedal boat, or simply take in the breathtaking views, this lesser-known gem promises an escape into nature’s serenity. And if you’re drawn to historical sites, don’t miss the chance to visit Crone’s charming churches – they’re like whispers of time echoing across the water. Unearth the hidden jewels nestled within this captivating Lake, and allow Italy in Photos to capture the true essence of Lake Idro through its lens.
