Idyllic Grächen Lake is situated above the village where you can enjoy a stunning view over the Weisshorn. You reach the lake from the village centre after a 15-minute leisurely walk.

During the summer season, you can go fishing once a week. The ‘Zum See’ restaurant is located right nearby. It’s a lovely spot to enjoy an ice cream on hot summer’s days. Swimming is permitted in the lake. However, it is not an official bathing lake and is not cleaned regularly. The Kneipp facility, the water pipes, the Äbnet alp and a campfire site are all nearby.
