Lago Di Braies is one of the most visited lakes in the whole of the Dolomites. There are many reasons why, the obvious one is because of it's raw beauty! HOWEVER, because it is so easily accessible expect lots of people on tiny walkways all cramming in to get that Instagram shot!
One of the biggest upsets is the boat house, expect to pay top dollar if you don't want anyone in the shot for the perfect INSTAGRAM snap!

I love how much emphasis you put on how many people are there at what time in this series. we also like to stay away from crowds so that is super helpful.

@TwosomeTravellers Год назад

Thanks so much! Yes it is definitely something we get asked a lot and so wanted to try and be thorough for other people too! :)

@jinalixo 3 года назад

I'm really enjoying this series in Italy!! so glad I found your channel :)

@earthcouples5177 3 года назад

Thoroughly enjoyed this Vlog guys, had no idea Lago Di Braies gets this busy, and during Covid! Also, never knew instagrammers paid €150 for private access on the boat house! 😳

@TwosomeTravellers 3 года назад

Aw thanks so much for watching! Yeah crazy about Lago Di Braies hey!! Honestly means so much for your comment. Love your IG page! 🙏🏼

@aryankabir84 2 года назад

A bit confused about about private photoshot… if i fly my drone from the boat or take photos, they still charge 150€? Thanks mate

@TheFlowMind 2 года назад

As a passionate landscape photographer, I have to say I still managed to enjoy the lake at sunset and sunrise (both summer and autumn - much better in autumn). But even at those times, you can find every morning about 15/20 photographers trying to hike the few meters near the boat place to take the shot. Funnily enough, my most beautiful shot is from the other side of the lake.

@TwosomeTravellers 2 года назад

It has become a very popular spot but for totally good reason, it really is an absolutely stunning place and no wonder photographers would like to get a good photo of it! :)

@caligirlvee 3 года назад

I saw this perfect picture of the lake on Instagram and it was surreal. I kept looking at other images on Instagram that make it look like heaven on earth. Now I know that pictures are edited at times, so I figured a video capture of this lake can't be too far off. Then I came across your video and it set things straight! Thanks for being so transparent!

@labelmeposh 2 года назад

I had the same experience regarding California.

@DomskiPlays 3 года назад

I live pretty close to this lake and have relatives that live there. I used to stay with them over the summer sometimes and that was only like 10 years ago. I remember how it used to be, you could just go there for the whole day and chill with friends, have some food or just go for a walk and the only people would be those from the region. Ever since that Italian show they did at the lake the place has been flooded. And Instagram is just making it worse. It even got so bad that there were traffic jams for many kilometers. Idk the lake is probably one of the best in the world but I haven't been in 4 years because it's so crowded :( I am glad I got to make those memories and got to experience something so beautiful before the whole world found it! Great Vlog!

@rudik1988 3 года назад

Hi! I live here in Italy and I always go on holiday in South Tyrol. I have known the lake of Braies since I was a child: before it was an oasis of peace and serenity, but since in Italy was broadcast the fiction "Un passo dal cielo" (2011), shot right at the lake, it has become a favorite destination for tourism mass - even of people who have never set foot in the mountains. Once there was not even the large parking lot you saw and access was free. Now everything is distorted. And to think that the lake is located in a natural park ... The owners of the hotel, in defiance of the rules, have had entire hectares of wood cut down to make parking. There is also a lawsuit pending, if I'm not mistaken. The place is beautiful and unique, yes. But as you have seen, now stormed by the maddened crowd. It's beautiful when no one is around, at dusk and dawn, as you have been able to appreciate. Great and beautiful video. Thank you.

@TwosomeTravellers 3 года назад

Thanks for all this information. It’s sad to see what it has become, but luckily there is still lots of beauty to be appreciated 🙏🏼 your right, dusk and dawn is the best time!

@davidetoffoletto9981 2 года назад

"Funny" is that the Local Government payed the national TV broadcaster for this fiction in order to boost the popularity of the place, considerated too much unknown

@harmaceny 3 года назад

U were only at lake? U can also climb on the top and Its awesome i want go back there! My favorite place! ♥️

@m.hoffman2889 Год назад

this lake reminded me so strongly off Lake Louise in Canada, scenic but overcroded with tourists, parking lot is already packed at 10am and a Fairmont-like hotel on the side. Though I strongly advice to see this lake once, especially go rent a boat and enjoy the lake away from the crowded walkway around it. Rented a boat for 30, but ended up being 90min (wasn't even upcharged) but from the boat you get amazing pictures as well

@TwosomeTravellers Год назад

Fantastic! Its a beautiful place that's for sure. We would love to visit Canada!

@MrSteveLittler Год назад

Hi love the video, can you please tell me what time off year this video was filmed?

@johnr8252 11 месяцев назад

It would help to know what time of year you were there. If you go peak season... then yeah it's going to be crowded. But how is slightly off-season?

@trainingandtravelling Год назад

Hey guys, beautiful video and thanks for the info 🙏🏻 we were planning to go there but we don’t have that extra cash and we thought it was free to get that magic pic we all look for 😊

@t-moor3422 Год назад

Hey guys! Thanks for your tips. Is it legal to fly a drone up there? Going to visit Lago di Braies in August

@Mr.HieuVu Год назад

Great insight, thank you.

@TwosomeTravellers Год назад

No worries at all! 😃

@JulieHaider Год назад

Thanks for showing the "behind the scenes" version of this iconic place! Just curious, what time of year were you visiting?

@TwosomeTravellers Год назад

Hey! That’s so exciting, you will love it there we have no doubt 😄we visited in July/august and so understandably peak time there! Still a beautiful spot!

@impulsestar6431 3 года назад

what backpack do you have, I like it

@boltovisinovi5980 3 месяца назад

@Rob-rk8jw 2 года назад

I was there five years ago in spring. Just me my wife an dog. In a time Insta didnt know the lake

@sheuliakhitara2546 2 года назад

informative....& like it...

@kayaker9912 2 года назад

I LOVE all your vlogs/videos etc! Stupid question please?! So the only charge is for walking onto the small jetty (boat house area), the rest of it has no charge? Heading there next spring (May) with my daughter, so getting all the information in order to get more out of our time there. Thank you!!

@TwosomeTravellers 2 года назад

Thanks so much! Hope they are useful for you! Yes so the rest of the lago di braies area is free to walk around :) (apart from the car park) then you can pay to use the boats if you wish.

@kayaker9912 2 года назад

@@TwosomeTravellers. Thank you!

@amirasurayabasiron4262 Год назад

Hello! May i know which date u came to this lake?

@TwosomeTravellers Год назад

Of course! We visited at the end of July :)

@jonmichael6478 Год назад

Same everywhere guys.

@gabib1653 Год назад

There are two beautiful lakes in Friuli-Venezia Giulia, Tarvisio. The name is "laghi di Fusine". Most beautiful of Braies!

@josemanuelsammoreno8196 Год назад

Of course there is more people wishing to see the lake as much as you

@JefErickson Год назад

Has anyone been here in 2022, and if so, can you tell me if it's still this busy during summer season? I was planning on going here this year but if it's seriously this busy I think I'll pass. Plenty of gorgeous locations in the Dolomites and the rest of the Italian Alps.

@lioneldehaemers3142 Год назад

Hi, which parking did you stay on?

@TwosomeTravellers Год назад

There is parking right next to Lago di braies, 3 big parking lots, you can't miss it

@dannorth9032 3 года назад

I am watching the environs while you walk and there are so many other frames of this beautiful lake to be captured. Everything is so chiché and it’s all about ‘that shot’ these days. It’s really sad

@TwosomeTravellers 3 года назад

Couldn’t agree more!

@DanielA-yc9mg Год назад

You guys should have walked around the lake. Obviously the part where the path starts and restaurants locate are crowded. You can walk around the lake (3,2km path) and you will have plenty of room to enjoy the beautiful water and view of mountains.

@TwosomeTravellers Год назад

We took a walk around the lake, beautiful, still busy but to be expected during peak season 😄

@NetherStray 11 месяцев назад

Good on the owners for making some money on the best spot for a photo. This place has to be maintained, kept clean, etc and there's no easier way to ruin a place like this than tourists.

@trailblazer_nomad 11 месяцев назад

Did you have drone permit to fly over the lake? It's a no-fly zone there...

@TwosomeTravellers 11 месяцев назад

Laws may have changed since we last visited 🙏🏼

@Ranilisza 2 года назад

150 euro... Jees, that's just crazy!

@TwosomeTravellers 2 года назад

It's a tad expensive!! haha

@sammedcode2241 2 года назад

I prefer Lake Louse in Canada to this, 10 times over.

@TwosomeTravellers 2 года назад

We would just love to visit Canada, it is so high on our bucketlist to see the beautiful Country!

@user-it7zr8ej5z 8 месяцев назад

Is drone photography allowed there?

@TwosomeTravellers 8 месяцев назад

Not sure if this has changed, but it was okay to fly the drone. As always be respectful and ensure you follow all the rules and laws when flying drones in public.

@erdindamukti 3 года назад

We were there 3 years ago and didnt pay a single penny for taking pictures from the boat house.. Guess we were lucky

@TwosomeTravellers 3 года назад

Super lucky! I think because it’s so busy and they know people want a picture on the boat house they have capitalised on it!

@pa3sRLP 7 дней назад

Because of its beauty, it is popularization of it is inevitable. It is ironic that you both seemed a little perturbed by the amount of people at the lake; everyone who goes there (who are not locals), like yourselves, contribute to the number of people and parked vehicles on the premises. Thanks for the insight on the 150 Euro fee for private shoots.

@Zimba09 29 дней назад

Is this place have internet connection?

@TwosomeTravellers 29 дней назад

I honestly cannot remember sorry. I think in certain areas maybe

@mckenzieneve4258 Год назад

It's crazy to me to see bodies of water that aren't encrusted by houses at every inch around the lake. In the U.S. every body of water big or small, clear water or the dirtiest scummy brown pond you've ever seen, will have houses jammed in on top of each other. You could drive around the entire body of water and not catch a glimpse. Really makes me hate the water rights we no longer have here.

@TwosomeTravellers Год назад

Wow! That's crazy. There are Manny beautiful lakes in Italy with not a single house in sight, it sounds like you would love it! :)

@Lukluk-pf1so 6 месяцев назад

@peterstraubinger708 2 года назад

the true name of the lake is Pragser Wildsee - it has never been Italian

Well , stop complaining about the crowd, cause u 2 are one of them who wants to visit the lake as well .

@TwosomeTravellers 11 месяцев назад

We visited before the crowds arrived. There’s a difference 😘

@lee6198 Год назад

So don't take the Instagram shot. Enjoy the lake for the lake. And take other beautiful shots and videos. Like you have actually done. You have your memory!!! ( and all the Instagram shots u see online)

@nehawasnik9623 3 года назад

I have noticed watching a few Europe related vlogs from 2020. So many travelers unmask themselves and are in close proximity to strangers while waiting in a line for a tourist spot or photograph etc. What is really going on in Europe ?
