    I’d put Lago di Sorapis on the list for glacial lake views.

    More about this place

    Lake Sorapis attracts tons of visitors each hiking season, for a good reason. This unique milky glacial lake has a dramatic backdrop of Dito di Dio mountain, or “Figner of God” in English, making it one of the most scenic lakes in the Dolomites region. We recommend grabbing a lunch box and spending the entire day in this area.

    You have two ways to hike: out-and-back or a loop hike. Both start at the Passo Tre Croci mountain pass and take about 2 hours to get to the lake. Out-and-back is most popular because it’s shortest – you just return via the same trail you got there, totaling 7 miles in about 5 hours.

    The loop hike is a mile longer and a bit more difficult, but it is far less crowded and opens some unique additional views of the surrounding mountains. The entire loop is 8 miles and can be done in about 6 hours.
