Lac de Sanetsch

Highlight • Lake

A lakeside path leads around Lake Sanetsch. Sturdy footwear is recommended. The stated time of one hour is too short, as there are numerous impressive spots to enjoy the plants and the lake.

Located at over 2000 metres above sea level, on the border between Valais and the Bernese Oberland, Lake Sanetsch is an alpine basin of wild, lunar beauty. Its waters, characterised by reflections ranging from turquoise to deep grey, are framed by expanses of smoothed limestone rock and the perennial ice of the nearby Tsanfleuron. Reachable via a breathtaking panoramic road or a scenic cable car from Gsteig, the lake offers a high-altitude landscape where time seems to have stood still. It is a paradise for hikers and lovers of solitude, where alpine pastures give way to a stone desert, creating a unique chromatic contrast that makes the atmosphere around the dam incredibly evocative and primordial.
