Black Lake

Highlight • Lake

Great for taking a break. The 3-country trails can be quite challenging. And to sit here on the bank and take a break – great!

Very nice hike on the Mutzkopf. We went up with the chairlift, a little slower than usual due to technical problems. Once at the top, well signposted paths led to the black and green lakes. From there only downhill towards Nauders with a nice stop at the Riatschalm
