Sorapis is a name that holds charm and magic within itself.
It seems to come from afar, evoking the Orient, ancient stories waiting to be rediscovered.
In reality, it is the name of a place hidden among the Dolomites..
A small lake located in the Ampezzo Dolomites, in the province of Belluno, not far from Cortina and San Vito di Cadore,well-known towns and popular ski and holiday destinations. This is precisely the Lake Sorapis,which offers a breathtaking panoramaas well as the chance to discover a small, little-known glimpse of our mountains.
There is also a legend about the birth of this lake, which tells of a king and his capricious daughter.
King Sorapis had a daughter named Misurina..
The girl was spoiled, and her father always did everything to fulfill her every wish.
One day Misurina asked and the true mountain everyday life. However, those who prefer comfort and refined cuisine are better off staying in Cortina or at least down in the valley. Here, the flavors are simple and genuine, the services functional and clean, but shared among all guests.
The Lake Sorapis is therefore still a destination unknown to most, but one that mountain lovers cannot
miss out on.
It is, in fact, one of the lesser-known and most beautiful wonders of the Dolomites,allowing you to fully immerse yourself in a nature that still reigns supreme in these areas and to be lulled by its beauty and rhythms, far from the everyday city life.
