After almost 2 hours passing through enchanting mountain villages, we will stop for 30 minutes to walk along the crystal-clear waters of Lake Auronzo, embraced by the Marmarole range and welcoming us to the Dolomites. Created in the 1930s for hydroelectric purposes, the lake symbolizes progress and resilience, holding strategic importance during World War II. Despite being artificial, it hosts a unique ecosystem maintained by rare microorganisms and algae, showcasing nature’s adaptability.
Our second stop, after a 30-minute drive, is Lake Misurina, nestled in the heart of the Dolomites. This natural alpine lake is renowned for its clean air, known for benefiting those with respiratory issues. You can enjoy a stroll around its shores or savor an optional lunch in one of the charming huts or restaurants, sampling traditional mountain dishes while admiring the majestic peaks. The crystal-clear waters and breathtaking surroundings of Lake Misurina make it a must-visit destination.
During our 20-minute drive, we will stop at Lake Dobbiaco, a picturesque alpine lake surrounded by forests and mountains. Its crystal-clear waters reflect the stunning scenery. Nestled in South Tyrol near the Austrian border, it is home to the rare marble trout, known for its distinctive marbled pattern. The pristine, oxygen-rich waters provide the perfect habitat for this unique fish. Take a moment to enjoy the tranquil charm of this special destination.
In the fourth stage of our journey, after a 20-minute drive, we reach Lake Braies, near the Austrian border. Renowned as one of the most photographed lakes in Italy, its emerald waters are surrounded by the stunning peaks of the Dolomites. Known as the 'Pearl of the Dolomites' for its breathtaking beauty, Lake Braies also holds historical significance as the site where, in May 1945, prominent hostages held by the Nazis were freed through negotiations with the Allies. The lake's clear blue-green waters, dense forests, and flowery meadows create a unique blend of natural beauty and history, making it a must-see destination in South Tyrol.
Our final stop is Cortina d’Ampezzo, an enchanting town surrounded by the Dolomites. With Roman origins and part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire until World War I, it was annexed to Italy in 1919 with the Treaty of Saint-Germain. It hosted the Winter Olympics in 1956 and will do so again in 2026, enhancing its reputation. The town retains Ladin, Italian, and Germanic influences in its traditions and the language still spoken. A walk through the center offers the chance to discover artisan shops and exclusive boutiques.
After this visit to Lake Welsperg, we have a two-hour drive back to our starting point, giving us time to reflect on the beauty of the Dolomites. We can cherish memories of majestic peaks, serene lakes, and charming towns, appreciating the natural wonders and cultural richness of this unique region.
