Private Lakes in the Dolomites with Lunch - from Cortina d'Ampezzo
The Dolomites are home to a remarkable collection of alpine lakes, where glacial waters, forested shores, and dramatic peaks create some of northern Italy’s most memorable landscapes. This full-day exploration highlights the diversity of the region’s lakes, each shaped by altitude, geology, and surrounding mountain scenery.
Lake Misurina, set against towering summits near Cortina d’Ampezzo, reflects the expansive skies and rugged terrain that define the eastern Dolomites. Farther north, Lake Dobbiaco lies between protected natural parks, offering a quieter atmosphere where still waters and alpine meadows support local wildlife and migratory birds.
Lake Braies, nestled high in the Alta Pusteria Valley, is renowned for its striking turquoise color and the sheer rock walls rising above its shoreline. The interplay of light, water, and stone illustrates why the Dolomites are recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Together, these lakes provide travelers with a serene and visually rich introduction to the region’s natural beauty and alpine character.
