Lake Cresta, Flims
In the fairy-tale landscape of Lake Cresta between Trin and Flims, you might think you are at the scene of an old Grisons legend. But don't worry, you won't find any water nymphs or forest spirits here. Instead, you're sure to find an idyllic spot on the edge of the forest or in the Crestasee inn with a view of the turquoise water.

Lai Barnagn, Savognin Bivio Albula
Pretty clever what the people of Savognin have come up with: The Lai Barnagn is an artificial lake and in winter, when no one wants to swim outside, it serves as a parking lot for the ski area. In summer, however, you don't notice any of this: it is one of the warmest bathing lakes in the Alps and is particularly popular with families because of its playground, petting zoos and water parks.

Lago di Saoseo, Valposchiavo
There are places that are difficult to put into words. The landscape at Lago di Saoseo in Valposchiavo is one of them: cobalt blue water, surrounded by larch as well as stone pine forests and majestic mountains. If you can't get enough of this sight and want to stay longer, you can spend the night in the SACHütte of the same name.

Lägh dal Lunghin, Val Bregaglia
In the barren high mountain landscape, high above the Val Bregaglia, towers the Lägh dal Lunghin. Here, at almost 2,500 meters above sea level, the sky is particularly close. Perhaps this explains why the water of the lake shimmers particularly blue.

Lakes of the Upper Engadine, Engadin St. Moritz
The lakes in the Upper Engadine have already inspired great minds such as Nietzsche, Segantini and Wagner. But this environment has positive effects not only on the mind, but also on the body. That is why the region has always been known as a health resort.

Heidsee, Arosa Lenzerheide
Whether Heidi bathed in the Heidsee cannot be proven. It is more likely that the name goes back to its location. The lake, located near Lenzerheide, is ideal for water sports: for example sailing, windsurfing, swimming or fishing. Children can let off steam on the sandy beach as well as on the pirate island, the suspension bridge or the adjacent playground.

Lai Nair, Scuol Samnaun Val Müstair
Lai Nair means Black Lake in Vallader, the Rhaeto-Romanic idiom of the Lower Engadin. But this name sounds much too forbidding for this jewel in the Lower Engadine. This becomes clear when you look at the crystal-clear surface of the lake and the deep blue sky and the larches shining golden yellow in late summer are reflected on it. Only a few hundred meters away from the lake is Tarasp Castle, one of the most beautiful castles in Switzerland.

Lake Davos, Davos Klosters
Cities with beaches are a dime a dozen, but not in the Alps. That's why Lake Davos is a great exception. Whether beach volleyball, kite- and windsurfing, sailing, swimming or just sunbathing, those who love water, sports and mountains will get their money's worth in Davos.

Lake Palpuogna, Bergün Filisur
Save yourself the flight across the Atlantic: at Lake Palpuogna in the Albula Valley you also feel like you are in the Canadian wilderness. Blue-green water, larch forests and a lonely cottage on the shore. No wonder this place has already been chosen as the "most beautiful spot in Switzerland".
