Misurina

Misurina is a village and tourist destination in northern Italy, located on the eastern shore of Lago di Misurina in the Dolomites. The lake is a natural glacial body positioned at about 1,757 meters above sea level, surrounded by prominent Dolomite peaks such as the Cristallo and Sorapiss massifs. The settlement lies within the municipality of Auronzo di Cadore in the province of Belluno, Veneto, and is commonly accessed from nearby Cortina d’Ampezzo.

Lago di Misurina is part of the Dolomites, a UNESCO World Heritage Site designated for its distinctive geology and landscape. The Misurina area is a year‑round resort, offering hotels and chalets, a lakeside promenade, and services for visitors. In warmer months, activities include walking along the lake’s shore, boating, and access to nearby trails for alpine excursions. In winter, the region serves as a base for cross‑country skiing and other nearby ski facilities, drawing visitors seeking mountain scenery and winter sports.

The area is known for its panoramic views and as a gateway to the broader Dolomites landscape, with Misurina commonly used as a starting point for excursions to surrounding peaks and passes. Its combination of high-altitude scenery, accessibility from major Dolomite towns, and seasonal outdoor recreation makes Misurina a notable destination within the Veneto region.
