See trail map

It’s a steep climb through a rocky landscape to reach these lakes (and a steep climb down). It's not particularly dangerous. But it does have one short section with a steep slope on one side and a chain handrail for safety.

Best to experienced hikers with good fitness. Not suitable for small children.

Make sure to bring lots of water and energizing snacks, as there are no services along the way.

This hike doesn't require mountain transport, so it's free!

How to get here

By car: Drive to Davos, then follow signs to the Flüelapass. About 10 mins from Davos, there is a small parking lot on the side of the road at Wägerhus (46°45’56.3″N 9°56’26.8″E).

By public transport: Take a train to Davos, then a bus to Wägerhus/Abzw. Jöriseen bus stop. This bus runs only a few times a day, so check schedule on SBB.ch carefully so you don't get stuck.

When to go: Usually July to September. Because of the high elevation, snow can linger here late into July and weather can move in quickly. So check the forecast and conditions carefully before heading out.
