Inserted in the wonderful environment of the Dolomiti Bellunesi National Park, the Valle del Mis hosts the homonymous artificial lake, bordered in all its length by the above peaks of the Monti del Sole.
Among the countless excursions that can be undertaken in this valley, do not miss the itinerary that will take you to the Cadini del Brenton, a series of beautiful gorges with green waters, and the Cascata della Soffia (a waterfall).
Between the entrance of the lake and the famous Cadini del Brenton is the Giardino Botanico Campanula Morettiana (a botanic garden) that allows the observation of high-altitude species and is divided into sectors that recreate the main environments of the Park: the rocks and screes, wetlands, meadows and pastures, woods. This easy path then leads to a sequence of 15 deep cavities dug by the waters of the Brenton stream, which is thrown by clear waterfalls. These spectacular erosion pots, in the heart of the Park, amaze for the beauty of the colors and the perfection of the shapes. For a while you will experience the feeling of being lost, because these mountains are the wildest of the entire Belluno: a natural paradise out of the world.
Finally, you can lengthen the path until you get to the terrace suspended over the Cascata della Soffia.
