This lake is part of the 5 lakes hike in Zermatt. The path leads past the lakes of the Stellisee, Grindjisee, Grünsee, Moosjisee and Leisee. Each of these mountain lakes is very different in terms of shape, colour, character and size, and has its own special attraction. The Grünsee looks out over a rather more rugged landscape, where Swiss stone pines nevertheless manage to grow among the scree and sand. This lake doesn't offer a really photogenic reflection but is the best one to have a swim :) really recommend it!

Duration: 2:30h Distance: 9.8km Ascent: 165m Descent: 454m
