Breathtaking colours over a peaceful lake
There are few places as magical as Lej da Staz at sunset. Surrounded by lush forests and reflecting the Engadin’s breathtaking evening skies, this small but stunning lake is a hidden gem for families looking to enjoy a peaceful and picturesque moment together.

Whether capturing beautiful family photos, enjoying quiet conversation or simply taking in the scenery, a sunset visit to Lej da Staz is an unforgettable summer experience.
