Discover Masarè: holiday apartment for the lakeshore, waterfall and history

Masarè combines a distinctive landscape history with walks along Lago di Alleghe, hiking trails to a waterfall and various cycling options. The village may therefore be of interest to you if nature, activity and culture are all part of your travel plans.

A landscape with a special history of formation

Masarè was founded after the formation of Lago di Alleghe, following the landslide of Monte Piz in 1771, which blocked the course of the Torrente Cordevole. The village of Masarè lies largely on the deposits of this landslide. From Masarè, you can see the slide area of the major landslide that created the lake. At the same time, Masarè overlooks the end of the lake. This means that the history of the village can be understood not only through dates, but also through the landscape that shaped it.

Walks by the lake and paths to the Cascata

In Masarè, you can walk along the shore of Lago di Alleghe away from the traffic of the main road. Hiking trails from Masarè also lead to the Cascata di Ru de Col Aut. The Cascata di Ru de Col Aut has two successive waterfall stages, making it an illustrative destination for a hike. If you choose a holiday apartment in Masarè, you can regard these two landscape experiences as different focuses for your daily planning: one by the water, the other along the path to a multi-tiered waterfall.

Cycle paths with different route profiles

There are also specific options for planning a cycling holiday. The Sottoguda–Masarè cycle path runs partly on unpaved and partly on paved surfaces, has a medium difficulty level and offers several variants. In addition, the mountain bike tour between Sottoguda and Masarè is 30 kilometres long. The different route details give you a clear basis for considering cycling as a separate part of your stay and combining the desired activity with your other interests.
