Surrounded by the verdant forests and the rugged peaks of the Lagorai chain, this tranquil body of water offers a respite from the hustle and bustle of daily life.
At an elevation of 1,619 meters above sea level, Lago di Calaita provides visitors with breathtaking views of the Pale di San Martino mountain group. The lake's clear waters reflect the majestic beauty of the surrounding nature, creating a mirror-like effect that is a photographer's delight.
