On the way between Amden and Weesen you can enjoy fantastic views of the turquoise Walensee. Especially nice when the forests turn colorful in autumn! The long-distance hiking trail Alpenpanorama-Weg also runs here.

Betlis Beach on Lake Walen

Highlight • Beach

A beautiful bathing area with a lawn and large trees that provide pleasant shade. The water of the Walensee is just incredibly clear and blue. The perfect place for warm summer days.

Tunnel with a View of Lake Walen (Walensee)

Highlight • Structure

It should be noted that the way from Weesen towards Beetlis is at risk of falling rocks. A little caution is helpful at best. (see impacts in the asphalt ...)

View of Lake Walen (Walensee) from the tunnel

Highlight • Viewpoint

The tunnel is cool and a bit wet, as water is dripping from the ceiling. It's possible to go without a flashlight; if you feel more comfortable, pack one. The view from the peepholes is fantastic.

Lake Walen

Highlight (Segment) • Lake

In Romansh, the lake is called Lag/Lac Rivaun. Accordingly, it was first documented in 843 as lacu riuano.

The German name means "Lake of the Welsch" (cf. Walchensee in Bavaria), because in the early Middle Ages, Lake Walen formed the language border between the Alemanni, who settled in the west, and the Romansh, the Welsch, in the east.
