Description
Escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life: recharge your energy on the leisurely walk from Gemmipass around the idyllic Daubensee.
The crystal-clear Daubensee lies at 2,200 m above sea level. From Gemmipass, the leisurely walk around the lake takes about two hours. Amidst the beauty of nature, the idyllic lake invites you to linger. Disconnect from the hustle and bustle of everyday life and enjoy the harmonious silence of the mountain world. Thanks to favorable wind conditions, kite surfers can occasionally be seen over the lake in summer. From November on, you will look for the lake in vain, as due to its shallow depth, it empties underground when winter approaches. In spring, the natural lake fills again from snowmelt.
