10 Bodies of Water in Canton of Graubunden That You Shouldn't Miss
Quaint alpine villages and great skiing entice travelers to the Grisons. The sparsely populated region of eastern Switzerland contains the source of the Rhine and Inn rivers, 140 square miles of glaciers and dense pine forests. Join the ski action at the resorts of St. Moritz, Davos and Arosa or stake a lofty claim with a visit to Juf, which boasts the highest altitude of any inhabited village in the Alps. In summer, take a hike through the Engadine Valley in the unspoiled beauty of Swiss National Park.

An activity not to be missed, when in Poschiavo, is a hike to the Lago di Saoseo in the side valley Val di Campo. Start is in Sfazú with a restaurant and with a stop of the yellow Swiss postbus between Bernina and Poschiavo. From here a small bus can take one up to the Alp Camp, from where it is only a half hour walk to the lake. Since this is a very popular excursion reservations have to be made in advance for the small bus and when there we saw that it was packed with people. My wife and me though had chosen to hike from Sfazú to the lake and then walk down another way, thus making a loop. For this one has to count with about 4 hours, but naturally some time has to be added spent at the beautiful little mountain lake. En route one passes through meadows, through forests and past mountain huts. Up we went on the Val di Camp river's lefthand side, down - mostly on a small road - on the righthand side. On the way down, with great views of the Palü glacier in front, one will encounter at a spot called Lungacqua the Rifugio Saoseo of the Swiss Alpine Club (SAC), which also functions as a restaurant. The Lago ('Lagh' in the local Lombardian dialect) is surrounded by forest with plenty of rocks around and mountains at the back. The lake's water is crystal clear and one can well see the bottom, but most special are its colours in varying shades of blue and green, depending on the light. The lake is at an altitude of 2028m, thus almost exactly 400m higher than Sfazú by the main road, the start and end of our hike.

This is certainly a prominent recreational area for the summer, which is when I did my solo hiking expedition. There are high mountain trails and viewpoints to admire to crystal clear blueish green waters. At lakeside, you’ll find bikers and walkers and joggers. There is a scenic and busy commercial campsite.

Popular easy walking route from either St. Moritz, Celerina or Pontresina to the lake of Staz in winter, summer and autumn. In summer, you can swim in the lake. The nearby restaurant is a hot spot during the whole year with an outside terrasse and an inside restaurant. In summer, you can rent a sun chair but the price is much too high, 90 swiss francs for the day (none of loungers was occupied when we were there).

We visited the lake Cresta after having hiked down from lake Cauma. Both of them are very beautiful and inspiring but this one is definitely more natural as it only has a small kiosk next to it compared to the big restaurant at lake Cauma.

Took a day off from skiing in flims, we decided to take a short walk in the forest to see this gem. I have to stay it is a must see, even in winter so I can only imagine how beautiful it would look during fall or summertime. Definitely calculate this short walk into your time here.
