When the heat starts to bite, parents always ask the same question: where can we take the children to cool off near Miane? Around The Court of Marga there are five very different answers — from a walk a stone's throw from home to a full-day trip — suitable for every level of energy (and patience) in the family.
| Dove | Distance from La Corte di Marga | Commitment | Ticket | Suitable for |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Our swimming pool | 0 minutes — is on-site | Nobody, you can get there in slippers | Included in the stay | All ages, with adult supervision |
| Caglieron Caves Mop | 20-25 minutes by car | ~1 hour walk on boardwalks | €4 (free under 12s) | Toddlers who are already steady on stairs and walkways — no pram |
| Revine Lakes | about 16 minutes by car (15 km) | Flat walk around the lakes | Free | Prams and toddlers — no swimming allowed, it's a nature reserve |
| Lake Santa Croce (Farra d’Alpago) | about 35-40 minutes by car (35 km) | Day at the lake, lido | Available (paid equipped areas) | Families with children, sandy beach and shallow water in places |
| Cadini del Brenton and Soffia Waterfall (Mis Valley) | 60-65 minutes by car | Half-day trip | €4 (free under 12s) | Even with a trekking pushchair (for the Cascata della Soffia) |
For an unplanned afternoon, our outdoor swimming pool set in the 1,500 square metre communal park remains the easiest choice: no travel, no tickets, just time to slip into your swimming costume. It is the ideal space for families who want to alternate between relaxing and swimming without leaving the gated courtyard of the property.

20 to 25 minutes from Miane, the Caglieron Caves are a gorge carved out by the Caglieron torrent, crossed by wooden walkways among small waterfalls and stratified rock faces. A loop of about 1 km, an hour's walk, suitable for children who can already walk with confidence (the route is not accessible with a pushchair).

About 16 minutes from Miane, the Lakes of Revine are a protected natural area: swimming is not allowed, but a walk (or with a pushchair, as the path is flat) among reed beds and shaded banks remains one of the most pleasant ways to escape the heat without going too far—with the Livelet Park and its prehistoric pile dwellings as an extra stop for the most curious children.

For those looking for a proper day out by the lake, Lake Santa Croce (Farra d’Alpago, about 35–40 minutes from Miane) is the best-equipped destination: a wide beach, with shallow areas suitable for children, picnic spots and the option to hire pedalos and water sports equipment. It is a trip well worth a full day, to be planned in advance given the greater distance compared to the other destinations in this guide.
For those looking to make coolness the itinerary for an entire day, the Valle del Mis (about an hour from La Corte di Marga) offers fifteen natural rock pools carved out by the Brenton stream and the spectacular Cascata della Soffia waterfall, which is also accessible with a trekking pushchair. Swimming in the pools is not permitted, but simply being close to the water provides immediate refreshment.

What is the most comfortable place to cool down with small children or babies?
The swimming pool at La Corte di Marga is built-in, requires no travel or tickets, and is also suitable for younger children with adult supervision.
Which destination is suitable even with a pushchair?
The Revine Lakes (flat route) and the Cascata della Soffia waterfall, in the Mis Valley, are also accessible with a trekking pushchair. The Caglieron Caves, on the other hand, are not accessible with a pushchair (stairs and walkways).
Can you swim in the Cadini del Brenton or the Lakes of Revine?
No, in neither case: the Cadini del Brenton for ecosystem protection, the Revine Lakes because they are a protected natural area not equipped for swimming. For a real lake swim, the destination in this guide is Lake Santa Croce.
What is the most suitable destination for a full day at the beach?
Lake Santa Croce in Farra d'Alpago (about 35-40 minutes from Miane): it has a wide beach, shallow water sections and equipped areas, perfect for a full-day trip.
