Moosjisee
Description
The Moosjisee (also known as the Mosjesee) is an artificial reservoir. The water is used to generate electricity and for snowmaking along the pistes. Among the lakeâs sources is water from the Findel Glacier, and as a result the Moosjisee has the typical milky hue of sediment-rich glacial meltwater, known as âglacial milkâ. As the trail leads past the lake, observant hikers will spot a wide variety of alpine flora on the adjacent slopes.
⢠Milky, turquoise water ⢠Swimming strictly forbidden for safety reasons!
