Lago di Misurina Site Features

The reflection

Still water with the Sorapiss group in it, best in the early morning before any wind. This is the image the lake is known for and it is genuinely worth the early start.

The lakeside walk

A level path of about two kilometres runs right round the shore -- easy, short, and the best way to see the mountains change as you move.

The asthma institute

The Istituto Pio XII on the shore, the only centre of its kind in Italy, and the reason the lake is protected from certain kinds of development.

The 1956 Olympic connection

Speed skating was held on this ice -- the last Games ever to do so on a natural surface.
