WHY THIS HIKE

The wonder of Lake Sorapis

The Sorapis cirque, one of the best-loved gems of the Dolomites.

Group chat a couple of days before
Come alone, leave with new friends

The experience

In the heart of the Misurina Dolomites opens the Sorapis cirque, a setting counted among the most loved in the whole area. At its centre lies the lake, cradled by the mountain walls that enclose it: walking the path you see it from every possible angle. Along the way we cross enchanted forests and reach Rifugio Vandelli, a historic landmark and the base for the via ferratas of the area.

5 reasons to come - Lake Sorapis and its colour - the Sorapis cirque seen from every angle - Rifugio Vandelli, history and a place to stop - enchanted forests along the way - the Misurina Dolomites, a gem among gems

Who it suits A mountain path with some exposed sections: a sure step and no fear of heights are needed.

Please note: some sections of the route are exposed.

One of the gems of the Dolomites: come and see it with the Guidders.

Hi Guidders! 🧡 I'm Alessandro, a qualified mid-mountain leader based in Veneto. The backpack is always ready, though: I lead in plenty of areas across this beautiful country of ours, because it seems a shame to stop at one valley when there are so many to walk. Hikes, views, nature and adventure, always with respect and passion for the environment: that's the formula I use and I have no plans to change it. This profile exists for one reason only — to invite you to live it with me, step by step, instead of just reading about it. If you'd like to keep up with new experiences and trip ideas, the Guidders and I will be out on the trail. 📍 See you in the mountains, Guidders!
