A beautiful walk for everyone around the St. Moritzersee

The hike starts at St. Moritz train station and initially leads down to the shore of St. Moritzersee. Even here, a beautiful view opens up of the water and the sophisticated St. Moritz, which stretches along the slope above the lake.

Afterwards, you follow the well-maintained path around the Lej da San Murezzan, as the lake is called in Romansh. The trail runs mostly directly along the shore, also crossing short sections of forest. Quiet moments in nature alternate again and again with views of St. Moritz and the surrounding Engadin mountains. The circuit is practically flat and therefore very easy to walk.

On the side of the lake opposite St. Moritz, it is worth looking back at the famous townscape with its hotels and the striking church tower. In winter, the frozen lake offers a very special backdrop: that is when horse races and cross-country skiing events, among other things, take place on the ice.
