Climb up the steep rock faces or dive deep to the bottom of the blue, blue lake. This is how varied and fabulous the landscape around Lake Walen presents itself.

Whether lying comfortably in the grass at the shore, legs in the water looking up to the majestic Churfirsten, actively on a hike or bike tour through nature or action-packed doing water sports – Lake Walen has a lot to offer.

Or how about a boat trip? The “Schiffbetrieb Walensee AG” brings its guests to unique places and regularly has new offers and activities in store. After a nice boat trip, families discover the car-free Quinten, which is also known as the Riviera of Eastern Switzerland because of its Mediterranean microclimate. A very special experience is also the inflatable boat trip from Lake Zurich into Lake Walen. Adventurers young and old can discover the secret of the magical lake playfully with “Spielerlebnis Walensee” where, on the adventure trail, the little ones discover five playgrounds.
