Lakes in St. Moritz

The Engadin valley around St. Moritz features a diverse collection of alpine lakes, ranging from the expansive Lake St. Moritz—famous for hosting the White Turf horse races on its frozen surface—to secluded mountain tarns like Hahnensee at 2,153 meters. Visitors can find sheltered swimming spots at Lej Marsch, explore the protected moorlands surrounding Lej Nair, or utilize the public barbecue sites at Lej Zuppo. These glacial waters are connected by an extensive network of hiking trails and serve as focal points for sailing, rowing, and high-altitude nature observation.
