Lake Limides is an easy destination to reach with a short excursion that starts from the Falzarego pass, near the Col Gallina refuge.

Small lake of glacial origin fed by rainwater and melting snow; it has a small emissary, present only when its level exceeds the downstream threshold. In recent years the emissary flows for a few days a year and the lake dries up more and more frequently at the end of summer. It rises at 2,181 metres, nestled in a small elongated basin, south-east of the Falzarego Pass and north of the Croda Negra, where the layers of dolomite are waterproofed by red clays.

The undisputed beauty of the place, and the postcard views, attract numerous photographers. In fact, the reflection of the Tofana di Rozes is famous, but the Lagazuoi and the Averau are also reflected in its waters. Legend has it that by looking at these reflections, the purest of heart can see the image of an anguana, a water nymph in the Dolomite tradition.
