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!
