Walensee: all tickets and tours
Walensee
The Walensee, with its dramatic surroundings, resembles a Norwegian fjord. It is located in Heidiland and is bounded to the north by the steeply rising Churfirsten mountain range, a popular hiking paradise. The lake has a deep blue hue and is often called the "Riviera of Eastern Switzerland." The hiking trails and mountain bike routes around Walensee feature stunning waterfalls and spectacular vistas. In winter, visitors are drawn to the nearby ski area of Flumserberg. (Photo: Switzerland Tourism / Roland Gerth)
