Lej da Staz
Lej da Staz / Stazersee
A small lake hidden in a Swiss stone pine forest, a 30-minute walk from the lakeshore in St. Moritz. In summer it is where locals swim and picnic.
Lej da Staz is surrounded by larch and Swiss stone pine forest, and its calm surface reflects the mountains. Along the shore are a marsh protection area and the Hotel Lej da Staz restaurant. In summer its water is relatively warm compared with other Upper Engadine lakes, and simple changing facilities make swimming possible. Walk along a forest path from the eastern end of St. Moritz lake to the lake, then continue to Pontresina or Celerina. The whole route takes about 1.5-2 hours on gentle terrain. In winter it becomes a cross-country skiing and snowshoe route.
