Graubünden is the largest canton in Switzerland in terms of area and therefore has a lot to offer - be it beautiful valleys, spectacular peaks or impressive lakes. We would like to introduce you to the latter: Here are our top 3 hikes with mountain lakes in Graubünden.
Jöriseen Rundweg
This hike might actually be one of the most beautiful hikes in Switzerland - after all, you are rewarded with spectacular views here. The Jöriseen lakes captivate with their incredible colour, and the rest of the scenery, including the Jörigletscher glacier, leaves nothing to be desired. If you are particularly motivated, you can also climb the 2845m high Jörihorn.
