Huge dam with high dam wall

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.

A magical place where the time just stops. A very nice place to see a old Swiss settlement.

The end of a valley couldn't be much nicer, here you feel like you are in another world!

The moment when you get up there is breathtaking! I'm not sure what I've seen more impressive than that. The water is sparkling blue, the small waterfalls that tumble in from the rock walls and the mini road on which the SUV driver already has problems with narrow tunnels. Just WOW!

Very nice place with good food and accommodation options.

Beautiful region for biking and hiking
