    Hiking

    The Lac des Perches - Sternsee - is located at about 1,000 meters altitude in a glacier valley.
    The name is said to come from a boy who fell into the lake and drowned while trying to catch a shooting star.

    Hiking

    Beautifully located lake, not accessible by car and therefore not so crowded. Invites as a stopover on a strenuous hike to a refreshing swim (only for swimmers!), So definitely swimwear with you.

    Hiking

    The Seebach flows from the Lac des Perches down into the valley and flows into the La Dolar at Oberbrück 💦.
