View of Lake Tannen

Highlight • Lake

This youngster among the surrounding lakes did not see the world until 1958. At that time, rubble was thrown up to dam the streams of the valley to Tannensee. Now it is especially popular among fishermen, because six different types of trout and Arctic char are in it. No wonder - who would say no to such a view with its own pool?

Melchsee-Frutt

Highlight • Lake

Hiking, fishing, skiing, just enjoying the view and the beauty of the mountains. Everything is possible on the shore of this dream lake.

The cable car takes exhausted hikers comfortably down into the valley to Stöckalp, the valley station is served by the post bus.

Surrounded by majestic mountains, the clear mountain lake invites you to hike, fish, and relax.

Tannensee

Highlight • Lake

The Tannensee is a true gem. Depending on the weather, you get a wild highland feeling or a liberating bathing feeling in a Swiss mountain lake. A little less touristy than the Melchsee.
