Maighelshütte
In addition to the Lai Urlaun, there are two other small lakes in Val Maighels.

Description

The Lai Urlaun is the largest of the three raised bog lakes in the Val Maighels. It lies below the Maighelshütte and is occupied by arctic char. In the early morning hours you meet fishermen here, later numerous hikers or bikers pass by the lake, who follow the Vierquellenweg or the bike route number one. 

Orchids, buttercups or wool grass bloom on the damp mats in summer, but you can also find dry places for a picnic, with a view of the Piz Borel with the Maighels Glacier.

Hiking time: From Oberalp Pass, 1.5 - 2 hours

Opening hours

From mid-June, the lake is snow-free, but you can still meet snow fields all around.
