Ank kumar · CC BY-SA 4.0 Why visit
A pair of small Alpine lakes above Grindelwald, reached by walking from the First mountain area. A visit is centred on mountain reflections, open Alpine meadows and walking approach from First, so the place can be understood through concrete features rather than only as a photograph stop. Its setting in Grindelwald also connects it with the wider character of Bernese Oberland. Allowing time for the principal feature and its immediate surroundings gives useful context for travellers interested in lake, nature, landscape. It pairs naturally with other nearby sights in the same region while retaining enough historical, cultural or landscape interest to justify a dedicated visit.
What you will see

History
