Beschreibung

 The partial 10-lake hike passes two of the lakes. The start and end of the route is at the Hörnli valley station


Älplisee


Älplisee lies at 2,156 m above sea level on the Arosa Älpli, southwest of Innerarosa behind the Älpliriegel. The lake is embedded in the source area of the Plessur, between Schwellisee, the mountains Erzhorn, Aroser Rothorn, and Älplihorn. In summer, challenging mountain trails lead towards Erzhornsattel, Rothorn, Ramozhütte/Welschtobel, Hörnli, and Gredigs Fürggli past the lake.


Schwellisee


Schwellisee lies at 1,933 m above sea level on the Arosa Alp, southwest of Innerarosa at the young Plessur. The larch trunks in the lake still testify to the extensive larch forest that once extended far above Schwellisee and was later cleared by the Walser. 


The board for the 10-lakes fun is placed at the lake outlet.

Geheimtipp

Bring a good camera – the colors of the lakes are beautiful.
