Photograph Lago di Misurina

Misurina, Italy

Description

An easily accessible alpine lake with gorgeous mountain backdrops.

This beautiful lake and small town are tucked away in the Dolomite Mountains. It is the largest lake in Cadore, and also was the last outdoor location ever used for an Olympic speed skating event. There is ample parking alongside the lake along with a dock where you can set up your tripod. On a clear day you'll be able to see the famous Tre Cime di Lavaredo, though this area is just as pretty on foggy days!

If you plan to spend several days in the area, the town has several hotels for you to choose from. I definitely recommend this as there are so many amazing hikes within an hour of here that it may be difficult to get the full experience of the area in just one day!

Hike to Rifugio Auronzo & The Three Peaks in the Dolomites

You start this easy hike from just before the toll road station on the road up from Misurina to Rifugio Auronzo.

Hike to Lago Di Sorapis & Rifugio Vandelli In The Dolomites

You'll see a gravel area at the side of the road where you can park - but get there early in the high season as there's very limited space. The first part of the trail is almost completely flat. It's a fairly ...

Hike the Tre Cime di Lavaredo Loop

This is a spectacular and majestic undertaking, completely different from hiking it in the summer. In the winter, you can hike or snowshoe and witness the amazing, expansive views of snowcapped mountain peaks. The contrast between the dark mountains and the pure white snow is breath-taking and absolutely awe-inspiring. The route you'll follow is the same as the summer route. Starting at Rifugi...

Ski Tour to the Sextener Stein in the Dolomites

The stunning tour in the Dolomites can be done in the winter as a ski/splitboard tour or as a snowshoe tour. It's also possible to hike the same route in the summer. The tour starts next to the Hotel Dolomitenhof, just across from the main parking area. Stating at 1450m, the first section of the tour is almost completely flat, as you head along the valley floor as far as the Talschlusshütte. A...
