The lake photo circular hike. 😂 Steep climb but great panorama and beautiful paths and mountain lakes. Recommended. 👍

The truth about the mileage is somewhere between 20 and 22 km. I'm also not sure if the altitude difference is correct.

June 22, 2025,2025-06-22 🇨🇭 Silvaplana, Campingplatz - Lej da la Tscheppa (2616 m.ü.M.) - Sils-Maria, Volg

Today I wanted to climb high again and hiked from the Upper Engadin village of Silvaplana to Lej da la Tscheppa, which I'd had in mind for a while.

I really enjoyed the varied climb: I passed countless small lakes, enjoyed the view, and was delighted when I reached my destination after almost three hours. 🤗
