Dobbiaco–Cortina Cycle Path

Highlight • Cycleway

The Dobbiaco-Cortina cycle path winds along the old railway line through breathtaking Alpine landscapes. The route, slightly downhill from Dobbiaco to Cortina, is also suitable for less experienced cyclists and passes through coniferous forests, wooden bridges and tunnels dug into the rock. Along the way, you will come across panoramic points that offer suggestive views of the surrounding Dolomite peaks, including the majestic Tre Cime di Lavaredo. Along the route there are old railway stations transformed into rest stops and small refuges where you can refresh yourself.

Lake Misurina

Lake Misurina (Italian Lago di Misurina) is a lake in the Dolomites in the province of Belluno in Veneto, which takes its name from the settlement of Misurina. The maximum depth of the lake is 5 m. The lake, which is 1756 m high, can be reached from the southwest of Cortina d'Ampezzo, from the Hohlensteintal in the north or from Auronzo di Cadore, to whose municipality the lake belongs, in the east. It is surrounded by the rock massifs of the Three Peaks, Monte Piana, the Cadini group, Monte Cristallo and further south by Marmarole and Sorapiss.

Lake Misurina

Highlight • Lake

Lake Misurina, also known as the "Pearl of the Alps", is one of the most beautiful mountain lakes in the Dolomites and is also the largest natural lake in Cadore. It lies at an altitude of 1,756 meters and its maximum depth is five meters.

Thanks to its location between the Sesto Dolomites and Cortina d'Ampezzo, Lake Misurina is ideal for hikes and mountain excursions of all kinds: A worthwhile hike leads, for example, up to the Forcella del Diavolo, past the Pian degli Spiriti and the Rifugio Fonda Savio.
