No, we are not offering reservations. Our rental operates on a first-come, first-served basis.
The only exception is our Sunrise Boat Experience., where you can book a boat in advance for the first trip in the morning (1 hour for 35.00 EUR).
A boat tour on Lake Braies is one of the most popular tourist activities in Italy, so at the height of summer (July and August), you should factor in a wait of up to 1 hour for a boat. Outside of peak season, waiting times may be shorter than that.
Up to 4 adults can go on one boat at Lake Braies.
Children of any age are welcome on boat tours at Lake Braies. All children and young adults under the age of 16 must be accompanied by an adult during the boat ride. Dogs are also welcome, and normally there are no problems getting on and off the boat or during the trip.
Unfortunately there is no food and drink for purchase at the boathouse itself and there are no toilet facilities. Around the lake you will find several establishments selling food and drink which also have toilets available.
No, unfortunately you cannot hire a kayak or stand-up paddle board at Lake Braies. The boathouse at Lake Braies only rents wooden boats.
If you arrive by car, you can park directly at the lake. There are three car parks that are open around the clock. However, please be aware of the road closure! From 10/07/22 through 10/09/22, the road from Schmieden to the lake will be closed from 9.30 am till 4.00 pm.
