Lake Walen is bordered on its northern side by the steeply towering Churfirsten. The scenery with the deep blue lake and the steep rock faces is reminiscent of a Norwegian fjord. A special feature is the car-free wine village of Quinten.
Lake Walen is bordered on its northern side by the steeply towering Churfirsten. The scenery with the deep blue lake and the steep rock faces is reminiscent of a Norwegian fjord. A special feature is the car-free wine village of Quinten, which can only be reached on foot or by boat. Between Weesen and Quinten the three-tiered Seerenbach Falls, which are among the highest waterfalls in Switzerland, also attract visitors.

Numerous bathing beaches and secluded spots invite you around Lake Walen. With the Walensee play experience, a special experience awaits families at five adventure playgrounds and on the ship.
