In Schmieden, the police have already diverted cars to the parking lot available there. (Possibly local license plates?). From there the shuttle has to be taken. We were lucky and were able to drive to the lake.

Embark on an easy hike around Pragser Wildsee, a picturesque loop that takes you 2.5 miles (4.1 km) with a gentle elevation gain of 227 feet (69 metres). You can complete this scenic walk in about 1 hour and 8 minutes, enjoying the well-developed gravel path and occasional stone steps. The trail hugs the lake's edge, offering continuous views of its clear, green waters and the majestic Seekofel massif reflecting on the surface. As you hike, you'll find yourself moving between the shoreline and slightly elevated wooded sections, providing varied perspectives of this alpine gem.
Accessing the Pragser Wildsee loop is straightforward, with the trailhead conveniently located near the historic Hotel Lago di Braies. You will find information boards marking the start of your hike. Several parking areas, specifically P2, P3, and P4, are available for those arriving by car. Alternatively, public bus route 442 offers direct transport to the lake from nearby towns, making it accessible without a personal vehicle.
This iconic mountain lake is nestled within the UNESCO World Heritage Dolomites, specifically in the Fanes-Senes-Braies natural park. The route is known for its pristine mountain scenery and the perfect reflections visible on the water, making it a popular destination for hikers worldwide. Along the way, you can find nice seating areas for picnics and sunny lawns to relax and take in the views.
