A place that shouldn't be missed on your bike tour in the Puschlav. Use the shore to recover from your exertions. The scenery is fabulous.

One of the most beautiful in all of Switzerland. Saoseo is, in my opinion, the most beautiful mountain lake😊

Always beautiful, this valley. This time skipped Lago di Val Viola due to the heat. The way back over the wide driveway is not pretty, but it is easy to walk and opens up beautiful views of the colorful meadows if they have not yet been mowed.
