Lake Canova is located between Paspels and Almens at an altitude of 777 meters in the Domleschg region of Graubünden. There is a fee for bathing in the lake.

Away from the busy road, nice view of the reservoir. As there is some coarse gravel, good tires are required (so not suitable for racing bikes).

Gigerwaldsee, Calfeisental The Gigerwaldsee is located in the Calfeisental and lies above Vättis in the municipality of Pfäfers in the canton of St. Gallen. The elongated Gigerwald reservoir, which is enclosed between rock walls, is located at an altitude of 1335 meters above sea level, is around three kilometers long and 135 meters deep at its deepest point. The lake is fed by the Tamina, the Tellerbach, the Hochbach and other smaller mountain streams. The Tamina flows out of the Gigerwaldsee. The Gigerwaldsee is the largest lake located exclusively in the canton of St. Gallen. At the very back, at the western end of the lake, is the old Walser settlement of St. Martin. A partially tunneled road leads to the hamlet on the southern shore of the Gigerwaldsee. In the summer months there is an inn in St. Martin that offers food, drink and accommodation.
