"Auf den Lacken" (Upiasee), 2552 m

A captivating water landscape: The romantic Upia Valley is a prime example of the Central Alps' abundance of water. Unlike the Limestone Alps, the water doesn't seep into the ground but collects on the surface. The enchanting result is lush meadows, streams with gorges and waterfalls, and above all, expansive lakes. In the Upia Valley, we find a little bit of everything, making our hike a pure water experience: the foaming Upia stream, a gorge with a rushing mountain torrent, a picturesque mountain lake, and a high plateau crisscrossed by numerous watercourses. The pristine streams meander beautifully through the meadows. The main destination of this hike, whose highest point lies at 2615 meters, is the large Upia Lake, also known as "Auf den Lacken" (On the Lakes), which offers far more than its unassuming name suggests.
