How this guide works

Facts you can check, dated to the day

Prices, timetables and rules around the lake are set by the people who run each service. We read their documents, cite them on the page and note when we last checked.

  1. 1
    Sources on every page

    The operator's tariff, the comune's rules, the park's notice: linked so you can open what we read.

  2. 2
    A verified date

    Anything with a price or a time carries the month it was last checked, and is re-checked at least every six months.

  3. 3
    Left out, not guessed

    If a figure cannot be confirmed, it is not on the page. If two official sources disagree, we say so.
