    Wangser See, Pizol
    First lake on the famous 5-lake hike
    The Wangser See is the first lake on the famous 5-lake hike and can also be hiked from Laufböden, where it forms part of the 2-lake hike, which is particularly popular with families, together with the lower Vilterser Seeli. The Wangser See is beautifully nestled in a plateau, which always offers hikers spectacular views of the surrounding mountains, both near and far. The Wangser See is also popular with fishermen; licenses are available at the valley stations of the Pizol cable cars.

    Hiking

    The lake is often overlooked, but that's not a good reason! It's not particularly attractive from the west side, but if you come from the east, you can be very lucky and see some great reflections in the water.
