Lago d'Antorno is a picturesque lake surrounded by the Dolomites. It's a short drive away (2 km, ~1 mi) from another famous Dolomiti destination, Lago di Misurina.
On the western shore, there's a chalet of the same name. During summer months, you might even practice sports fishing.
In the vicinity, there're a few hiking trails up the mountains, such as Sorapiss, Monte Piana, Cadini di Misurina, and Tre Cime.

PHOTOGRAPHY RECOMMENDATIONS
This is the morning shooting location.
I recommend arriving at this point in advance before the sunrise.
It is very important to be the first one on the scene, since a good frame allows for only one tripod.
The top of the mountain in the foreground is beautifully illuminated with the rays of the rising sun and is reflected in a small puddle of water adjacent to the lake, exactly copying the mountains' shape.
You can often see ducks gliding on the surface of the lake, which can enliven the landscape.
