    Lej Alv is a picturesque natural lake with crystal-clear waters, fed by melting snow and the streams of the Schlattain Valley.

    In summer, the lake is a popular destination for hikers and cyclists thanks to its breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains. In winter, Lej Alv transforms into a water reservoir essential for artificial snowmaking on the ski slopes.

    Hiking

    The banks of the picturesque Lej Alv are a lovely place to take a break. When the snow melts in spring and summer, the lake stores the water that flows down the mountains. It is located in the Corviglia ski area and is used for snowmaking in winter.

    Mountain biking

    Literally one step away from heaven, a tour to do preferably in early summer, with at least one spare in the backpack and a windproof shell. Colors, sounds, authentic scents of alpine herbs and, above all, the silence of high altitude: when fatigue is combined with poetry.
