Nasswandsee (Italian: Lago Crode Bagnate) lies in the impressive high-alpine landscape of the Langtaufers Valley in South Tyrol. The valley, which stretches from Lake Reschen in Vinschgau into the Ötztal Alps, is renowned for its tranquillity and the majestic glacier scenery.
Lake Nasswand lies at an altitude of around 2,670 metres, near the so-called Gschweller Lakes. It is situated at the foot of the southern ridge of the Nassen Wand. The hike to Lake Nasswand leads through a scenic, high-alpine environment, past mountain lakes and with views of the surrounding glacial landscape of the Weißkugel.
