From Venice: Dolomites, Lake Sorapis hike with Alpine Guide

About This Experience
Lake Sorapis is the turquoise lake under the Dito di Dio spire, and you can only reach it on foot. This private day from Venice puts your group in a van to Passo Tre Croci, above Cortina d'Ampezzo, where a certified alpine guide meets you, runs a safety briefing and checks your gear.
The listing describes the walk as easy to moderately challenging: 10 km there and back, roughly two hours each way, with no climbing skills needed. The path has exposed stretches with cables, and the guide is there to make them manageable. The Rifugio Vandelli hut by the lake sells food and drinks.
After the hike there is time in Cortina before the drive back to Piazzale Roma in the evening. The price is for the whole group of up to eight, and the listing is new, with no reviews yet.
