Situated amid pristine nature in the Val Mora, the Lai da Rims is regarded as one of the most beautiful mountain lakes of the Alps. It is a popular destination for nature-loving walkers. This walk leads from the Umbrail Pass at 2500m to the Piz Umbrail at 3033m, and then down to the Lai da Rims, a unique jewel, and concludes with a valley walk to Sta. Maria. The lake is very impressive because of its turquoise colors and the clear water. If no wind blows and the water does not curl, the clouds reflect in the lake and it looks as if there are two skies. Fascinating!
