Due to its intense blue color and picturesque surrounding nature, it is considered one of the most beautiful mountain lakes in Switzerland.[3][4]
Access
editThe lake can only be reached on foot on hiking trails. A circular trail leads from Alp Camp (accessible in summer by minibus,[5] closed to individual traffic without a permit) in about two hours to Lagh da Saoseo and the slightly higher Lagh da Val Viola.[6] From Sfazù on the Bernina Pass road, a circular hike of about five hours leads to the two lakes.[7]
The mountain hut Rifugio Saoseo is located near the lake.
