🏔️ 5 Lakes Pizol: one of the most beautiful hikes in the Swiss Alps! 🇨🇭✨
If you’re looking for a scenic, relatively accessible and super photogenic hike, save this one: the 5 Lakes Hike at Pizol. 🥾💙
The trail takes you past five stunning alpine lakes, each with its own colors and landscapes, while offering spectacular views of the surrounding mountains. You can reach the starting point by cable car, and from there the hike takes around 4–5 hours, depending on your pace and how many photo stops you make.
📍 Where: Pizol, Canton of St. Gallen
🥾 Difficulty: Moderate
⏱️ Duration: Around 4–5 hours
☀️ Best time to go: July to October, when the trails are generally more accessible and the lakes are usually free of snow.
💡 Tip: Always check trail conditions and cable car operating times before setting off. And if you can, pick a clear day — the views over the Alps are absolutely incredible!
