Arnensee

A high-mountain reservoir lake at the end of the Feutersoey valley, with emerald water reflecting snowy peaks. The lakeside trail is easy, and the wooden lakeside restaurant is popular.

Arnensee lies at about 1,540 m, at the end of the Feutersoey valley south of Gstaad. Its water is clear and emerald green, surrounded by pastures and steep peaks. The lakeshore trail takes about 1.5 hours and is mostly flat. You can also reach the lake from Lauenensee via Chrine, or continue over the Col des Andérets to Lac Retaud. In summer, minibuses run up from Feutersoey. If you drive, you need to park at the foot of the mountain. The lakeside hut restaurant serves cheese fondue and fresh fish.
