A hidden gem for hiking in the Dolomites! The scenery along the way to this lake is crazier than the destination itself

Who would have thought! I rushed to Sorapis Lake in the Dolomites, but ended up completely captivated by the "midway scenery"😭! They say this lake is like "spilled turquoise," but only after completing the whole route did I realize—the real surprise is hidden in every step! Starting at Passo Tre Croci is super convenient, with free parking on the roadside grass🅿️, saving the hassle of finding a spot~ From the very start, the scenery felt like opening a mystery box! At 12 minutes, I saw forest light and shadows; at 23 minutes, new layers of vegetation appeared; at 55 minutes, I looked up to see the silhouette of snow-capped mountains✨… After walking for 1 hour and 29 minutes, I even stopped to take photos for 10 minutes, completely forgetting the destination was waiting for me! But a key reminder! The second half is all unprotected rocky paths⚠️, with cliffs right beside you. Don’t push through if it’s raining or foggy! For those staying in Ortisei or Santa Cristina, remember to allow 2 hours for the drive and 6 hours to complete the hike so you don’t end up walking in the dark~ Stop just focusing on the lake at the end! Walk slowly, and you’ll find all the Dolomites’ gentleness is in the breeze along the way🌬️~ Originality of the article: 78%
