Lake Misurina or Lago di Misurina is the largest natural lake of the Cadore and it is 1,754 m above sea level, near Auronzo di Cadore Belluno. The lake`s perimeter is 2.6 km long, while the maximum depth is 5 m. Cadini di Misurina is a group of mountains in the eastern Dolomites in the Province of Belluno, Italy. These mountains rise to the west of Auronzo di Cadore, north-east of Cortina d`Ampezzo and south of Dobbiaco, in a position overlooking Lake Misurina. They are part of the Dolomites subsection of Sesto, of Braies, and of Ampezzo, and belong to the municipality of Auronzo di Cadore. The highest peak is the Cima Cadin of San Lucano 2.839 m a.s.l.. The term Cadini derives from the Cadorino dialect ``ciadin`` which translates into valleys, and refers to the labyrinthian structure of the massif. Tre Cime di Lavaredo are three distinctive battlement-like peaks, in the Sexten Dolomites of northeastern Italy and probably one of the best-known mountain groups in the Alps.
