Cold lake great for cooling feet and a great place to take a break with a view of the glacier and the mountains

The Griesslisee is fed by a nameless glacier. This is a cirque glacier that is fed by avalanches from the north face. Since 2023/24, the glacier has been rapidly disintegrating and melting not only on the lake front, but also from behind it out of the valley. There will most likely be no more icebergs on the lake like there were a few years ago, as the glacier is moving further and further away from the lake. Our tip: enjoy the view until the glacier no longer exists.
