The route, which winds around the village of Rocca di Arsiè, is ideal for those who want to admire the Corlo Lake in just a few kilometers, an artificial basin between Valsugana and Monte Grappa, where Valbelluna opens up.
A few kilometers from the Veneto plain and the Dolomites, it is formed by an artificial dam of the deep canyon created by the Cismon stream. Its name also derives from the tiny hamlet that overlooks the dam: Corlo. Similar to a Norwegian fjord, where the surrounding vegetation and the village of Rocca are reflected in its waters, it is one of the largest lakes in the Province of Belluno.
The route will lead you to discover the wonder of this lake and the settlement that was almost completely submerged with the creation of the reservoir in 1954. You can admire its beauty from the opposite shore as well, crossing the Bassane Bridge and the Victory Bridge. The latter, also known as the Corde Bridge, was built in 1928 in memory of the victory in World War I and as a replacement for the Chains Bridge, which was located further down and was often covered by the river's floods.
A route, in short, that will take you through nature and history in this paradise!
