Sustainability

For us in the Braies Valley, sustainability is a matter of principle, not a fad.

We value our nature. It is our habitat and our source of strength. It gives us everything we need to live. It is therefore a matter of course for us to look after it and protect it in particular. For ourselves and for future generations.

We are driving this issue forward with various measures in different areas and integrating it into our everyday lives: in agriculture, we are working towards an ecological cycle. Gastronomy works with regional and seasonal food. Mobility is strictly regulated and traffic-calmed at special times. We drink our own spring water instead of bought water and we use reusable products instead of plastic. Special places need special protection.

Braies Lake

Due to its natural value, the water quality of Lake Braies is constantly monitored: According to regular analyses in accordance with the European Water Framework Directive, the lake is in excellent ecological condition. In order not to disturb the ecological balance, a maximum number of wooden boats has been set on the lake.

Traffic regulation during the high season

Access to Prato Piazza and Lake Braies with your own motorized vehicle is severely limited in the summer months. Instead, the places can be reached on foot, by bike, public transport or shuttle services from the nearby villages.
