Looking for a place of magic?<\/p><p>Then you have to check out the &#8220;5 Lake Hike&#8221; at Pizol.<\/p><p>Take the bus from Sargans to the bus stop Wangs, Pizolbahnen. There are also parking spaces if you come by car. You can easily reach this cable car station from Zurich or Bad Ragaz. It is recommended to buy a 5-lake round trip ticket, which includes all the cable cars.<\/p><p>The starting point of the hike is then either the Pizol hut at the top with two chairlift rides (more leisurely option) or a chairlift ride to Alpe Gaffia. We go all the way to the top and start at the Pizolh\u00fctte.<\/p><p>The Pizol area is located in the <a href=\"https:\/\/unesco-sardona.ch\/en\/homepage\">UNESCO World Heritage Site Sardona<\/a>.<\/p><h2><strong>Let&#8217;s start the Swiss hiking dream<\/strong><\/h2><p>The first hour of the 5 Lake Pizol hike takes you to the Wildseeluggen.

The glacier recedes about three metres per year. Today it is still about 300 metres long (2021).

It is one of the most beautiful mountain lakes in Switzerland and perhaps even in Europe. And for me, the gem on the &#8220;5 Lake Hike Pizol&#8221;. A truly magical moment! It looks like a lagoon, but is a little colder.<\/p><p>It is also important to know that the colour of the Schottensee changes. In summer the lake appears light blue, especially when it is hot and it gets a lot of meltwater. As soon as the sediments contained in the glacial water settle, the water appears darker blue. This happens when the lake receives little meltwater (autumn, spring).<\/p><h2><strong>Tip for the best 5-Lake-Hike picture<\/strong><\/h2><p>Photo tip: This lake is the highlight of the hike. I would spend a lot of time here. It is also the best place for unique photo memories or a cosy picnic.
