• Lago di Auronzo - From above, you admired the striking turquoise waters of Lago di Auronzo. On the ground, you’ll discover that this is an artificial lake, created in the 1930s to harness glacial meltwater for hydroelectric power generation, a project vital to the region’s energy needs. Its brilliant turquoise color is due to finely suspended glacial silt, or “rock flour,” carried into the lake by meltwater from the surrounding Dolomites. These microscopic particles scatter sunlight, giving the lake its vibrant hue. How incredible is it to see a place where human engineering and natural processes combine to create such beauty?
• Lago di Misurina - From the air, you’ve seen Lago di Misurina reflecting the surrounding peaks like a mirror. Walking its shores, you’ll discover its unique microclimate, celebrated for its therapeutic properties and high oxygen concentration. As part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the lake is also studied for its limnological characteristics, including its water temperature and alpine ecosystem. How does it feel to walk through a place where science and health meet?
• Lago di Dobbiaco - Viewed from above, Lago di Dobbiaco’s crescent shape reveals its ancient landslide origins. On the ground, it becomes a window into alpine biodiversity. This glacial lake is a vital stop for migratory birds and home to the Salmerino Alpino (Arctic char), a rare fish that thrives in its cold, oxygen-rich waters. Observation points allow you to see native species thriving, while its water chemistry provides key data for environmental studies. Can you imagine walking the shores of a lake shaped by geology and alive with unique wildlife?
• Lago di Braies - From the sky, Lago di Braies stunned you with its emerald waters surrounded by towering limestone cliffs. On land, you’ll uncover its fascinating history: the lake was formed by an ancient landslide, creating a natural dam. During WWII, this site became a stage for a remarkable negotiation when SS officers held prisoners as leverage but ultimately released them in a rare act of humanity. Its unique karstic geology and deep waters also make it a hotspot for scientific study. How will it feel to stand where natural beauty and history collide?
