Lakes in the Dolomites

Scenic Lakes & Ponds

A selection of natural and artificial high‑altitude waters across the Dolomites and Cadore: from Lake Braies' iconic wooden boat shelter and mirror‑calm basin to Carezza's vividly green waters, Misurina's 1,754 m elevation, Sorapiss's glacial turquoise tarn and Fedaia/Centro Cadore reservoirs shaped by hydroelectric dams. The list highlights varying origins (glacial cirques, proglacial ponds, man‑made reservoirs) and distinctive local landmarks and elevations.
