Lägh da Bitabergh

Highlight • Lake

Most beautiful lake we have seen in the Upper Engadin. Nobody was as idyllic as in the fairy tale. On the shore, tadpoles swim by the thousands in the warmed shallow water.

June 8, 2024,🏞️ Rundwanderung von Maloja über den Schmugglerweg zum Lägh da Bitabergh und Lägh da Cavloc
Small circular hike that was still doable at the beginning of June, even after the heavy rain, and (almost) without snow (on the way around the Lägh da Cavloc we had to overcome a small snow deposit once).

The "smugglers' path" to the small Lägh da Bitabergh is also great with children, as there are several information boards and puzzles …

Today the Engadine was waiting for us. Since we weren't quite fit again after a cold, we only did a short but beautiful hike to Lägh da Cavloc. The lake is easy to get to and we met lots of families. A particular highlight were the yellow larch forests and the crystal clear water.

Beautiful, very varied and absolutely dog-friendly hike. Even at the end of May the mountains were still covered with lots of snow, so non-slip shoes are essential. With around 200 meters of elevation, it is suitable for every fitness level. 🇨🇭

After the 1:00 p.m. Postbus left me in Silvaplana, I was only able to start in Maloja an hour later than planned. The weather showed itself from the very best side again. From Maloja I first crossed the dam wall, then we went steadily up the mountain path and through beautiful forest to the extremely idyllic Lägh da Bitabergh. Continue …
