Subjects : An ideal place for photographing landscapes ranging from lakes to typical alpine peaks. The fauna of the place offers a lot of opportunities to take photographs for mammals, birds, amphibians and many species of insects, while the alpine flora very particular and varied offers many possibilities. For those wishing to take in the night sky suffers very little light pollution.

Recommended equipment : Depends on the interest of the photographer and the desire to carry around weight along the way, my advice is to take a wide angle, a good macro and a telephoto lens, possibly a handyman for wide angle and telephoto. Obviously, a tripod can come handy in many situations.

Best months : In order to find good candidates should visit the place in summer, between late July and early August you can see many species of insects.

How to get there : To get to the lake there are several possible ways: by car taking the exit at Fifth and continuing towards the funicular station and continuing on the road to reach the summit posteggiando below the dam or leaving the car at the foot of the ski lift and climb via the funicular, there is also the chance to climb following the path marked but it is very challenging and the difference is high.

Visits : To reach the lake by funicular, the cost is 13. - The only lifts or 22. - Up and down while posteggiando the dam you have to pay the car park (parking at the cable car station are free). At the top there are several huts and shelters that provide meals (with products alp) and lodging for the night.

Notes : All prices are in Swiss francs.
