The trail follows the shores of the lake through fir and beech forests and alternating shady stretches with panoramic openings. Along the way there are several viewpoints from which to admire the lake, often characterized by waters with emerald green reflections, in which the Dolomite peaks are reflected on clear days.

Comfortable shoes or light hiking shoes. Water, season-appropriate clothing and sunscreen recommended. In winter months useful footwear with good grip.
During winter or when there is snow and ice, the bottom can be slippery. It is recommended to always check the trail and weather conditions before departure.
It is possible to park near the Santa Caterina Dam, a convenient point to start the loop tour of the lake.
On clear days it is worth stopping at the more open spots along the trail to observe the Dolomite peaks reflected in the water.
Along the way you will encounter the Santa Caterina Dam, which gave rise to the lake in the 1930s by damming the Ansiei River. An interesting point to understand the origin of the reservoir and the mountainous context of Auronzo, surrounded by the Dolomites.
