Continue for approximately 30 kilometers until you reach the junction with the A22 motorway. Merge onto the A22 towards Bolzano. After about 18 kilometers, take the exit for 'Bolzano Nord' and follow the signs for SS241 towards Carezza. Continue on SS241 for approximately 20 kilometers, and you will see the signs for Lago di Carezza. There is a parking area available near the lake, but be aware that there may be a parking fee of around €5 for the day.

Public Transportation
If you prefer public transportation, start by taking a regional train from Val Venosta to Bolzano. Trains run frequently, and the journey takes about 30 minutes. Once in Bolzano, transfer to bus line 180 towards Nova Levante. This bus will take you directly to Lago di Carezza, and the trip takes approximately 40 minutes.
