Lago del Mis, Artificial lake in Sospirolo, Italy.

Lake Mis is an artificial reservoir in the Dolomites that spreads across a valley at about 1,400 feet (427 meters) surrounded by high mountain ridges. The shoreline is lined with meadows, forests, and rocky peaks that shape the landscape.

The lake came into being in 1962 when a dam was built to create a hydroelectric power source for the region. This project reshaped the valley and continues to serve as an energy resource today.

The reservoir submerged much of the Mis valley floor, including the village of Gena Bassa; only its church was rebuilt, now standing on the lake shore. The dam was designed by engineer Carlo Semenza with Guido Oberti for the structure and Giorgio Dal Piaz for the geology, and built in 1962 by Torno & C. for S.A.D.E. The lake lies within the Dolomiti Bellunesi National Park and is a popular bathing spot.

The reservoir lies in the Canale del Mis valley at Sospirolo, in the province of Belluno, and is reached by road along the valley floor. The dam stands at Pascoli di Sospirolo, where the water is held at about 427 m above sea level. The lake is part of the Dolomiti Bellunesi National Park and is a bathing spot in summer.

The reservoir submerged several villages in the Canale del Mis valley, including Gena Bassa; only its church was rebuilt, and it now stands on the lake shore. The dam is a double-curvature arch 91 m high, holding back 36.68 million m³ of water up to 88 m deep.
