Lai Urlaun is the largest of the three raised bog lakes in Val Maighels. It lies below the Maighelshütte in the middle of the wonderful mountain landscape of Graubünden.

Photography Tips

Tripod, wide-angle lens and ND filter allow great long exposures in this beautiful place.
The three other lakes in the immediate vicinity have no names. They also offer a wonderful photo motif.
The tour to the lake can be wonderfully combined with the hike to Lake Toma. I have created a separate spot about it.

Travel Information

Start of the hiking trail at the Oberalp Pass.There's always parking.
The Oberalppass is also very well accessible by public transport. The trip with the Rhätische Bahn to the pass is an experience in itself. Alternatively, the post bus can also be used.
