Arguably the perfect example of environmentally sensitive tourism in Italy, Lago di Bolsena is surrounded by archetypal villages and located at the foothills of Tuscany. The untouched and unspoiled lake is far off the beaten track and inspires a spirit of discovery in all those who make the trip to its shores. Several hiking trails around the lake provide a great view of the idyllic villages and towns in the area and paths through a charming cypress forest.

Thanks to the unique location of the lake, there is a range of other activities to enjoy in addition to its cultural highlights. Surfing and sailing are very enjoyable options while the hilly area around the lake is ideal for travelers with a love for mountain biking. Famous pilgrimage routes like the Via Francigena and Via Casia are also highlights in the area. Map
