The mostly flat circular path leads through diverse fauna. At 2252 m above sea level, lush meadows alternate with rocky slopes. At some points, good surefootedness is required. The cold mountain lake provides cooling on a warm hiking day – in the form of a short swim or a soothing foot bath. After the circular hike, a stop at Auberge du Sanetsch is a must. The small restaurant spoils its guests with local specialties.

The circular hike around the Sanetsch lake is easy to walk and follows the beautiful shoreline sections. However, there are rocky sections with small elevation differences in between. Good footwear is recommended.

The brave dare a short swim in the cold mountain lake for refreshment. Tired hikers cool their feet. For climbers, there are numerous very beautiful climbing routes of various difficulty levels. For more information, contact the local mountain guide offices.
