View of Voralpsee

Highlight • Viewpoint

The idyllic Voralpsee is located at 1,123 meters above sea level in Grabs in the canton of St. Gallen. Nestled in a hollow on the Grabserberg, amidst alpine meadows and forests, this natural lake is located between the Alvier region and the Churfirsten mountains. At just under 550 meters long and 250 meters wide, the Voralpsee is rather elongated. Its depth is up to 12 meters.

The Voralpsee can be comfortably circumnavigated on a beautiful walking path. Due to its easy accessibility, the lake has become a popular destination for many lake lovers: hikers, walkers, barbecue-loving families, bikers, and mountain lake swimmers visit the lake in large numbers during the warmer months. In the summer months, swimming in the Voralpsee offers the necessary refreshment.
