The Lago di Saoseo shimmers like an optical illusion, its waters a vivid, luminescent cobalt-blue, and the Lago di Viola nestles like a deep violet eye in the gentle hollow at the foot of the Scima da Saoseo, whose furrowed spine is a delightful contrast to the velvety meadows, still lakes and sparse Swiss pine and larch woods of the Val di Campo.

The Lac des Chavonnes is situated amidst beautiful woodland above Villars in the Vaud Alps. It’s just a 30-minute walk from Bretaye station (mountain railway from Bex). Meals and refreshments available at the lakeside restaurant.

High above the Diemtigtal, at the end of a little side valley and on the way over to the Simmental, is the picturesque Seeberg Lake (1831 m). This nature conservation area attracts both walkers and bikers. A typical mountain lake with cold, clear water, a very popular place for a day out. There are mysterious underground streams flowing in and out of the lake. The nearby mountain hut is manned in summer.
