- Lago Misurina -

Lago Misurina, also known as the "Pearl of the Dolomites" for its beauty, is the largest natural basin of Cadore.

As a jewel set among the UNESCO Dolomites, Lake Misurina stands at 1756 m. and is known not only for its charm, but also for the therapeutic properties it offers thanks to the particularly healthy microclimate.

 

A legend says that the lake was a gift from the fairy of Monte Cristallo to the daughter of King Sorapiss, Misurina, who insistently wanted a magic mirror. The mirror (water) was given to the girl, but on one condition: that the king became an imposing mountain, and so it explained the formation of the mountain range Sorapiss and the beautiful lake.

 

Around Lake Misurina we can see some of the most beautiful peaks of the Dolomites: the Tre Cime di Lavaredo, Sorapiss, Cadini and Cristallo.

It is the ideal place to make pleasant excursions in contact with nature, suitable for families and experienced hikers, but also to spend pleasant moments of relaxation.
