Lake Misurina

Lake  Misurina​


Lake Misurina is located in Belluno Province, close to the towns of Cortina d'Ampezzo and Auronzo di Cadore.

It has a surface area of 15 hectares and a maximum depth of 5 metres.

​The surface elevation of the lake is 1, 754 metres above sea level.
​This is one of the most spectacular lake settings in the Veneto region with the beautiful Dolomites casting a dramatic backdrop. ​

It's a popular spot during the summer and winter with hotels, bars and restaurants dotted around the lake. 

​The best way to reach the lake is by car; with public transport it gets a bit complicated as you need to take buses that only run during the summer or reach the nearest train station (Calalzo-Pieve di Cadore-Cortina), which is 40 kilometres away. 

By car it's just 22 minutes drive to Cortina or around an hour and a half to the provincial capital Belluno.
