The Five Lakes Hike in Switzerland is a popular trail that offers stunning views of the Swiss Alps and five picturesque alpine lakes. The trail is approximately 12 kilometers long and takes about five hours to complete. The starting point is at Pizolhütte, a mountain restaurant located at 2,221 meters above sea level. The hike follows a well-marked trail that leads hikers to the five lakes, each with its own unique characteristics and beauty. The trail is relatively easy, with a few steep climbs (especially in the beginning) and rocky sections. Along the way, hikers will pass through alpine meadows and rocky outcrops. The highlight of the hike is the breathtaking views of the mountains and the shimmering lakes. The trail ends at the Gaffia cable car station, where hikers can take the cable car back down to Wangs in the valley. The Five Lakes Hike is a must-do for nature lovers and hikers who want to experience the natural beauty of the Swiss Alps.
