One of the least renowned lakes in Lombardy, Lake Endine, in the heart of Val Cavallina, with its mountains and landscape reflected in the water, offers a very suggestive sight. It’s a quiet, relaxing place of entertainment for a not too exigent tourist. It’s a sort of outdoor gym for water sports (sailing, windsurf, canoeing and boat racing) and a well-known place for fishing, in winter, with its frozen waters. It offers a very particular sight at this height.

Visit Lake Endine
You can appreciate the beauty of the lake passing through the ancient mule-tracks that from Endine and from the right bank go up to Ranzanico and from here to Bianzano. The little coast villages are scattered with little medieval churches rich in works of art and with several medieval castles, that can be visited and explored quietly on foot, by bicycle or by canoe. The places worth visiting are Spinone al Lago, surrounded by cane thickets, with its restaurants, the possibility of boat trips and its thermal baths; Monasterolo del Castello, for its XIII century castle and the Parish Church by Fantoni; Endine Gaiano for its beautiful Romanesque church. Also the villages on the hillside looking onto the lake are worth recommending: Ranzanico for its San Bernardino’s Oratory of 1400; Bianzano for its Suardi Castle of 1300; Solto Collina for the little Disciplini Church with frescoes of 1400; Fanovo, San Felice al Lago, Piangaiano and Valmaggiore for their wonderful panoramic position. You have to visit the nearby Valle del Freddo (“Cold Valley”), (400m on sea level), a protected area showing a spectacular Alpine nature, unusual at these altitudes.
