Lake Antorno, Lake in Veneto, Italy

Lake Antorno is a small alpine lake in the Veneto region of northern Italy, sitting at an elevation of about 1,866 meters (6,122 feet). The lake is surrounded by pine forests and tall mountains, and its surface often mirrors the sky and the peaks around it.

The lake formed naturally in a hollow left by ancient glaciers that once covered this part of the Alps. Over time, it became a resting point for travelers crossing the mountains, and today it remains a stop for those exploring the area.

The lake is a popular spot for photographers, who come to capture the reflection of the surrounding peaks on the water, especially at sunrise and sunset. Local families often stop here for a picnic on the grassy banks, enjoying the cool air and the view.

The lake is easy to reach by car, with a small parking area near the shore, and it makes a convenient stop on the way to the Tre Cime di Lavaredo. The ground around the water can be uneven and damp, so wear sturdy shoes if you plan to walk along the edge.

The lake sits close to a busy road, yet its setting feels remote, and on clear days the water can appear in different shades of green and blue. It is also a starting point for a less crowded trail that leads to views of the Tre Cime di Lavaredo.
