Bettmersee
A high mountain lake above Bettmeralp that mirrors the surrounding peaks. In summer you can swim and go boating, and the lakeside trail is easy.
This high mountain lake sits about 2,006 meters above sea level on the north side of Bettmeralp. It is a 20-minute walk from the village. The lake mirrors the peaks of the Valais Alps. In summer the water warms up enough for swimming, and you can rent boats. There is a restaurant by the lake. Nearby are the smaller lakes Blausee and Totsee. A full walk around the lake takes about 30 minutes, which makes it suitable for families. It is also a rest stop on the way back from hiking to the Bettmerhorn.
