Lake Auronzo, located in the splendid Ansiei Valley in Auronzo di Cadore, is an enchanting sheet of water whose hues vary from emerald green to deep blue, extending for over two kilometres. Surrounded by thick forests and the majestic Dolomite peaks, including the famous Tre Cime di Lavaredo and the Cadini di Misurina, UNESCO heritage sites, this artificial lake, created in the 1930s by damming the Ansiei torrent, is a true natural jewel that attracts numerous visitors every year.
During the summer, Lake Auronzo becomes the ideal destination for those seeking a regenerating break immersed in unspoilt nature. The Auronzo-Misurina bicycle and pedestrian path that runs along almost the entire lake offers the opportunity to take long walks or bike rides, surrounded by an enchanting landscape. Lovers of water activities can explore the lake by kayak, rowing boat or pedalo, while those who wish to relax in the sun will find a small beach equipped for a pleasant moment of sunbathing in the mountains.
Lake Auronzo is also the perfect place for a family picnic, a tasty lunch of typical Cadore dishes, or an aperitif at sunset, enjoying a view that looks like something out of a postcard. With its serene ambience and breathtaking landscape, Lake Auronzo is a must-see destination on your itinerary in the Dolomites.
