A trip to Lago del Corlo

A watershed in the Belluno area, specifically in the small municipality of Arsiè in the Rocca district, nestled between sloping rocks and mountains full of vegetation. 

It looks like a picture-postcard scene, with an enchanted atmosphere provided by the surface of the water reflecting the mountains and the intense greenery that surrounds it, interrupted only by the rocky ridges and stone buildings of the villages on its shores. 

It is a place of peacefulness and serenity, ideal for a different kind of holiday, with the flavour of relaxation and a lifestyle away from everyday routine. A holiday at Lake Corlo is suitable for the whole family, perfect for a walk along the lake ending with a picnic in the specially equipped areas, or for mountain lovers who can find refreshment in this cool valley when the weather is fine. 

There are many reasons to plan a holiday on Lake Corlo, and among all the activities that can be enjoyed on and around the lake, the most popular is the contemplation of its calm waters, which reflect the houses and mountains, giving a wonderful feeling of pure wellbeing. 

The magic of Lago del Corlo

Lake Corlo is an artificial lake created in 1954 with the construction of a dam along the Cismon torrent. Following the construction of the dam, however, ancient hamlets were submerged, including Chiesa, Carrer, Giuliat and Caballau, including the church of Rocca with the exception of its bell tower, which still stands today as a symbol of the geographical transformation undergone by this area. 

The tour of the lake starts from the Mondo di Fortunato or from the old bell tower of Rocca, where it is possible to relax on the shores of the lake and read on the rocky walls along the way the history of the place in some salient points indicated together with examples of fossil remains of the area. The path around the lake leads to the Corlo dam, which is truly impressive.

Another highlight of the area is the so-called Ponte della Vittoria, which crosses the lake by supporting itself on steel ropes and which, with its wooden beam flooring, causes slight oscillations with each passage.

Furthermore, it is possible to rent rowing boats and pedal boats, for those who want to enjoy the spectacle of the lake but from above, you can make excursions following the path along the lake.

Abandoned houses in the woods, suggestive waterfalls and a crazy view of the lake, the path offers a scenery not to be missed. Lago del Corlo is a very popular place for an out-of-town trip that is both interesting and adventurous. Suitable for everyone and beautiful to photograph in all its beauty.
