About this site

This is a small independent guide to Lake Misurina (Lago di Misurina), the Tre Cime di Lavaredo and Cadini di Misurina above it, and the parts of the Dolomites a visitor is likely to combine with them. It is written and maintained by one person, independently.

It is not an official website. Misurina is part of the municipality of Auronzo di Cadore, whose Comune runs the Tre Cime toll road and its own tourism site. This site has no connection to the Comune, to any tourist board, to the mountain refuges such as Rifugio Auronzo, or to the bus companies and other transport operators mentioned on these pages.

How we decide what goes on the site

Every page starts from sources we can name: the Comune di Auronzo’s official tourism and parking pages, the bus operators’ own notices, Olympedia for the 1956 Olympic results, Italy’s heritage trust FAI, and dated reports in regional newspapers. Where sources disagree, and around Misurina they often do (on altitudes, distances and dates), we say which figure we used and why.

The lake has a well-known legend. We include it, but folklore is labelled as folklore, and we do not claim a source or an age for it that we could not find.

Tolls, bus fares and timetables carry the month we checked them. They change every season, so we link to the operator and ask you to confirm before you travel. Driving times come from a routing engine and run short on mountain roads, so we round them up.

Tours and how we make money

Tours on this site link to GetYourGuide. If you book through one of those links we earn a small commission, and the price you pay is the same as it would be otherwise. Some pages that link to hotels may also earn a commission through Stay22. We do not run the tours and we are not GetYourGuide. The full explanation is on our affiliate disclosure page.

Tell us when we are wrong

Prices go up, a bus timetable changes, a refuge opens late. If you find something out of date or plainly wrong on this site, email info@lakemisurina.com with the page and what you saw. Corrections are welcome; we would rather hear it from you than leave it standing.
