How does a frozen lake form in the Dolomites?
A frozen lake forms when temperatures remain below freezing for an extended period and the water begins to freeze from the surface downwards. In Alta Badia, this natural phenomenon transforms some lakes into one of the most characteristic winter landscapes in the Dolomites.
Why does the ice on a lake change colour during winter?
The colour of lake ice changes depending on its thickness, the light and the presence of air or snow. In the Dolomites, it can appear transparent, white or in shades of blue, changing its appearance throughout the winter season.
Which flavours celebrate the cuisine of Alta Badia during Osti sön dlacia?
During Ostí sön dlacia, visitors can enjoy dishes prepared with local products from Alta Badia, reinterpreted with a contemporary touch. Ladin gastronomic tradition meets new culinary interpretations while maintaining a strong connection with the local area and the flavours of the Dolomites.
What makes dining on a frozen lake in Alta Badia so special?
Dining on a frozen lake means enjoying gastronomy immersed in the winter landscape of the Dolomites. In Alta Badia, the frozen lake, the snow and the evening atmosphere become part of the dinner, together with the flavours of the region.
