Caumasee
An emerald lake surrounded by forest, with groundwater giving it a fantastical blue-green color. It is one of Switzerland’s most beautiful lakes.
Caumasee lies in the forest formed by the Flims rockslide. It is fed by underground springs, so in sunlight its water shifts from turquoise to emerald green. A small island sits in the lake. In summer there is a swimming area, boating, and a lakeside restaurant. You can take a short cable car down from Flimserwald to the shore, or walk for about 20 minutes. Swimming areas charge admission in summer, and on busy weekends in peak season it’s best to arrive early. In winter you can stroll around the lake. From Chur, take a bus to Flims, which takes about 40 minutes.
Opening hours
Beach about mid-May–September, 9:00 AM–7:00 PM
