About the Blausee nature park

Magical, unique nature at its most pure

There are lots of exciting things to discover at the Blausee nature park, a magical landscape spanning 20 hectares that was formed 15,000 years ago by a massive rock fall from the Fisistock mountain. Leave the stresses of everyday life behind and explore the magnificent nature park next to the Blausee with its attractive forest paths.

Ideal for unwinding, recharging your batteries, enjoying the fresh air or simply relaxing.

 Blausee nature park in Switzerland

Footpath to the lake and hotel

A short walk of 200 metres through the pristine nature park brings you to the world-famous lake and its crystal-clear waters in the most beautiful shades of blue. The striking surroundings are reminiscent of a fairytale. Immerse yourself in an enchanting world of gnarled trees and moss-covered rocks and recharge your batteries at this unique source of power and inspiration. Whatever the season, Lake Blau is always worth a visit.

 Boat trip on the Blausee in Switzerland

Boat trip

Experience the Blausee from a whole new perspective during summer time. As the glass-bottomed rowing boat glides smoothly over the crystal-clear waters, learn all about this little marvel of nature. Although the turquoise-blue lake is only 17 metres from the Kander river, the waters are different: the Blausee is fed by groundwater flowing from the Kander valley. The exceptional colour of the water is a factor of its clarity: since only the blue part of the light spectrum is absorbed, this is the colour that appears to the human eye. Tree trunks and boulders immersed as much as 12 metres down appear to be only just under the surface. The glass-bottom rowing boat ride is included in the entrance fee.

 

 Blausee woodland path in Switzerland

Nature & woodland paths

The Gorge path leads directly to the "Felsenzimmer"- and "Wolfsschlucht"gorges, while the Forst path leads to the lake house and playground. Paths wide and small wind through the park, with a combination of tree roots, stones and soft earth beneath your feet. On your way, you pass imposing firs and deciduous trees, rocks of all shapes and sizes, and moss-covered, unspoiled natural features. The setting here is truly idyllic.

 Blausee Wasserhaus in Switzerland

Wasserhaus

Right next to the Wasserhaus with its WC facilities is the playground with a number of lovely picnic and barbecue spots; firewood is provided free-of-charge until 9 pm. The kids can have fun exploring the spacious nature playground and leave you to unwind and enjoy the peaceful surroundings. The giant shingle roof of the Wasserhaus offers shelter if it starts to rain.

Bistro

The bistro is open during the summer season (weather permitting) for beverages, tasty Blausee fish nuggets, grilled sausages, salads and ice cream. Seating offering views of the deep-blue lake is available by the bistro. Enjoy the delightful nature park and its unique ambience.

 Alpaca face

Alpacas & llamas

Pay a visit to the friendly locals! The llamas and alpacas relocate from Aeschi to Lake Blau’s unique Sommerau forest clearing for the summer; they enjoy their time in the beautiful natural surroundings. Visit them in their summer home: they are very tame and like receiving visitors.

 Blausee children's playground in Switzerland

Barbecue spots & playground

Right next to the Wasserhaus with its toilet facilities is the playground with a number of lovely picnic and barbecue spots complete with firewood (the latter is available from the restaurant in the evenings).
The children can have fun exploring the spacious nature playground and leave you to unwind and enjoy the peaceful surroundings. The giant shingle roof of the Wasserhaus offers shelter if it starts to rain.

 Blausee maid

The Blausee Saga

Long, long ago, the charming little lake in the upper Kander valley looked different to what it does today. Its water was very much the same as all the other little mountain lakes. But near its shores lived a maid whose heart beat for a young herdsman. On bright moonlit nights, the two would make their way to the alpine lake surrounded by ancient fir trees and sit on a raft the young man had made to pass the time. Afloat on the silvery water, they passed many a happy hour dreaming their youthful dreams. Then one day the herdsman tumbled over a cliff as he was gathering hay prior to bringing it down the mountain - and was killed. The maid was inconsolable from that moment on. In the middle of the night, she would go the little hidden lake and mourn her lost love. Little by little, she began to lose her mind. She paid her parents no heed when they begged her to cease her nightly visits: their unfortunate daughter kept being drawn to the lake by a mysterious force. One morning, the maid and the raft were found at the bottom of the lake - and its water has taken on a deep-blue hue ever since. People say it’s due to the tears of her unhappy love - the water is as blue as the eyes of the unfortunate maid.
