A lovely walk around the water. It's very quiet here, with a few nice benches to rest on. The view is beautiful. It's not a lake, but a reservoir; you're not allowed to swim in it, but we did see a black alpine newt.

Crystal clear and ice cold! In the middle of a sea of lush meadows lies this mirror-like, tiny mountain lake. A path leads around its shore, so that one can look into the emerald-green waters from all sides.

Reservoir for skiing in winter but definitely worth a visit in summer too
