4 Lake Hike to the Untersee, Stausee, Grüenseeli and Alteinsee

Crystal-clear mountain lakes and a unique panorama await you on this themed hike on the subject of lakes. This hike takes you to 4 of a total of 10 lakes in Arosa. 

This part of the "10-Lakes-Fun" leads past four of Arosa's lakes. The entire trail leads over hill and dale and is therefore a little challenging.

From Untersee you set off in the direction of the Isel. There you will also reach the reservoir. If you follow the path, you will then reach the Grüenseeli. On the way back you pass the Alteinsee lake and can marvel at the impressive Altein waterfalls. The circular hike leads you back to the starting point at Untersee. At the outflow of each lake you will find a board that provides information about the lake.
