Lej Nair Silvaplana

Lej Nair in Silvaplana

Lej Nair in Silvaplana

The mystical Lej Nair lies idyllically hidden in the forest "God Surlej", above Surlej on the way to St. Moritz-Bad. This special mountain lake is located in a protected moorland area of national importance, in close proximity to Lej Marsch.

Information panels around the lake offer fascinating insights into the diverse flora and fauna of this sensitive moorland. On sunny days, Lej Nair – meaning "Black Lake" in English – reveals its most beautiful side: fir trees, sky, and clouds are reflected in the dark water's surface, creating a typical Upper Engadine postcard scene.

Lej Nair is a popular spot for peaceful breaks in nature and is ideal for a picnic or a short getaway.
