Enjoy one of the loveliest panoramic mountain hikes in Switzerland.
High above the timber line a well laid out mountain path leads through the constantly changing alpine scenery.
On the Wangsersee (Lake Wangs) begins the famous 5-lake hike. A climb lasting about 1 hour to the Wildseelücke opens up a panorama of Eastern Switzerland, Graubünden and Austrian Alps. Behind the Wildseelücke - the Lake Wild opening - (2493 m) appears Lake Wild itself. The hiker is fascinated by the sight of the Pizol glacier with the 2844m high Pizol peak and the Grauen Hörnern. A short descent follows to Lake Schotten.
Be sure to be back at the Gaffia chair lift station (end of the hike) before the last ride down at 17:00
