Two most important things to know about the Sorapis Lake route are: one, it is endlessly beautiful, scenic and entertaining. And two, it is extremely popular. Hence the conclusion: to enjoy it as it deserves, start it as soon as possible to avoid rush hour and, consequently, crowds. #Clarification: in Italian it is Lago di Sorapis. In English it is Lago Sorapis as well as Lago de Sorapis. Choose the name that is easiest for you to remember. Another important point: you may have heard that the Lake Sorapis hike is not suitable for people with vertigo. Well, it depends a lot on how much vertigo you have. On the more difficult parts of the route you will find handrails and on rougher terrain - stairs and walkways to make progression easier. Anyway, vertigo is a very personal thing, so you can judge for yourself. Lake Sorapis Route Why is the Lake Sorapis hike so popular? It is not very easy or short. Many people say that it is a vertigo-inducing and dangerous route. It is not a route to take refuge from the crowds of people in the Dolomites. And yet it is one of the most popular hiking routes in northern Italy. What is its secret? I think there are two. First, Lake Sorapis is a marvel: turquoise waters, surrounded by forests and peaks whitened by dolomite stone and with many secluded and enchanting nooks and crannies. And the second reason for its success is the access road. It's quite an adventure, with handrails, cliffs, walkways, breathtaking views and surprises around almost every bend. Where is Lake Sorapis? It is located in the Dolomites d'Ampezzo Natural Park, which belongs to the Dolomite Alps, or simply the Dolomites, in Northern Italy. The closest town to Lake Sorapis is Cortina d'Ampezzo, about 8 kms from the car park from which the most typical route to the lake begins. The Sorapis Lake route starts at the free parking Misurina - Passo Tre Croci (marked on Google Maps) at SR48. Try to be there as soon as possible so that you can choose one of the "normal" parking spaces. If not, you'll have to improvise and invent your own spot: on the side of the road, upside down, over huge potholes... In short, park however you can. From the car park, you'll have to find the start of the route, how? Use GPS or a mountain app. In ViewRanger the turnoff from the SR48 is marked as Dolomitenhöhenweg N3. Or you can follow the people, 99% of them are coming to do the same as you.
