Hike to the mystical Lake Toma

Lake Toma with its clear, deep blue water is a secluded treasure in the Swiss Alps. Surrounded by steep peaks and green meadows, the lake exudes a calm yet symbolic atmosphere. It not only reflects the beauty of the surrounding landscape, but is also the source of one of Europe's most important rivers - the Rhine.

After a shared train ride up to the Oberalp Pass, this hike to Lake Toma takes us past a lighthouse, bubbling mountain streams and blooming alpine roses. First flat, then a little steeper, we reach Lake Toma, which lies in an impressive hollow. From the lake, we climb another 30 minutes to the Badushütte SAC, where we can fortify ourselves with a slice of cake. We then return to the Oberalp Pass and take the train to Andermatt.
