Description
A hike to four beautiful mountain lakes with admirable flora and impressive mountain scenery.
Leisee
Shortly after the start at Sunnegga, the first highlight follows: Leisee. The lake is passed on the left side in the direction of travel. From there the hiking trail leads east – mostly with a view of the Adlerhorn.
Stellisee:
After about an hour of ascent, the Stellisee is reached, known for the Matterhorn reflection. A walk around the lake is recommended. From Stellisee the trail descends in about 30 minutes to Grindjisee.
Grindjisee:
A bit above the lake, the full floral splendor can be seen. From Grindjisee the trail follows the large glacier moraine – a remnant of the last ice age – to the Grunsee.
Grunsee:
Grunsee invites you to swim, then it continues through the beautiful stone pine and larch forest to Riffelalp.
