Mindful… by the lakes

he water quality of the two Montiggl Lakes is excellent. For many years, Legambiente and the Touring Club Italiano have awarded these lakes the “5 Vele” (“5 Sails”) quality seal – a recognition given to Italy’s best bathing waters and destinations with sustainable tourism.
 

To ensure these natural paradises remain clean and unspoiled for future generations, we kindly ask for your support:

• Getting there: Even your journey to the lake can be environmentally friendly – use public transport or come by bike.
• Eco-friendly sunscreen: Choose sunscreens without microplastics and harmful chemicals that are difficult to break down and can harm both the environment and your health. Please rinse off sunscreen before swimming and reapply afterwards.
• Use sanitary facilities: Please refrain from relieving yourself in the lake – proper restrooms are available.
• Waste disposal: Reduce waste as much as possible and dispose of it in the designated bins – this also applies to dog waste.
• Respect nature: Be mindful of aquatic plants, birds, and the lake’s animal inhabitants to help preserve this delicate ecosystem.

 

For your safety:


• Non-swimmers should not enter the water, not even with floatation aids.
• No sudden dives into cold water: Avoid jumping into cold water directly after sunbathing – it can stress your circulation.
• Don’t swim on a full stomach: Wait at least 30 minutes after eating before going into the water.
• Follow warning signs: Pay attention to signs indicating swimming bans or thunderstorm warnings.

Fishing in South Tyrol’s waters: rules and information

 

Fishing in South Tyrol’s clear mountain streams, lakes, and rivers is a unique experience for nature lovers and anglers. However, to protect nature and fish populations, certain rules and regulations must be followed. Here are the most important details:

 

Closed seasons and protective measures
In South Tyrol, many fish species have closed seasons during which fishing is not allowed. Make sure to inform yourself in advance about the rules for the specific body of water. There are also minimum size requirements for caught fish, which must be strictly observed. Undersized fish must be released gently back into the water.

Catch limits
There is a daily limit to the amount of fish that can be caught. The exact rules vary depending on the body of water and fish species. In general, only a few fish per day may be taken to ensure sustainable stock management.

What do you need to fish in South Tyrol?
The following 3 documents are required:

 

  1. Fishing license: South Tyrol residents need a Category B fishing license and must pass the local fishing exam, both issued by the Office for Hunting and Fishing in Bolzano. Tourists can purchase a temporary license (Category D, valid for 10 years), available directly from the Office for Hunting and Fishing in Bolzano or from selected tourist offices (e.g., in Appiano and Caldaro).
  2. Day permit (Fischtageskarte):
    A daily fishing permit for the specific fishing area or zone you wish to fish in.
  3. Valid ID (passport, driver’s license, or identity card) matching the fishing license.

Day permit for the Montiggl Lakes:
A day permit valid for both Montiggl Lakes costs €20.00 + €10.00 deposit. The deposit is refunded when the used permit is returned to the issuing location.
