#Daydream: Lake Braies, Italy

We know how it is. You’re stuck at your desk and the day seems to be going on forever. Your mind starts to wander — at first to “anywhere but here,” but then to exotic, faraway lands where your everyday problems and stress melt in the presence of true paradise. You want to go to there, and we want to go with you. Every day at 3 p.m. Eastern, we’ll send you a picture of the place we at Yahoo Travel are daydreaming about so we can all take that mental vacation together. Let’s go to…

…Lake Braies, Italy!!! Also know as Lago di Braies, is one of the most stunning lakes in the Dolomites. Being a hot spot for tourists, it is best to visit in the off season. Come visit in mid October, when you will have this magnificent place (mostly) to yourself. Breathtaking views, fresh mountain air and peaceful serenity will surround you. If office stress has been getting you down, after a day at Lake Braies, you’ll be asking yourself “What office? What stress?”
