Overview

• Campsite fees have jumped to about €1,600 for two weeks in Lazise, up from roughly €500 a decade ago, with some visitors calling the increases unsustainable.
• A longtime German camping family tallied roughly €236 per day, or about €3,300 for two weeks before travel, after cutting restaurant visits to once a week.
• Hoteliers and retailers say spontaneous trips from Germany have thinned, leaving more empty rooms even at peak and fewer shoppers in town centers.
• The visitor mix is shifting toward more Northern Europeans who often stay on campsites and spend less in bars, restaurants and shops, according to local businesses.
• Longer drives through Brenner roadworks and higher fuel, toll and local transport prices—reported up around 10%—are further discouraging travel.
