Leisee is a small alpine lake near Sunnegga, offering a peaceful escape with breathtaking Matterhorn views. Just a short walk from the Sunnegga funicular station, this lake is a favorite spot for families, hikers and anyone looking to relax in a stunning natural setting.
In summer, Leisee is one of the few places in Zermatt where you can swim in a mountain lake. The clear, refreshing water makes it perfect for cooling off after a hike. A small sandy area and wooden rafts add to the fun, making it a great place for kids to play. There’s also a playground and barbecue spots, making it easy to spend a few hours enjoying the fresh alpine air.
For hikers, Leisee is part of the Five Lakes Hike, a scenic trail passing through several beautiful lakes with reflections of the Matterhorn. Whether you're stopping for a picnic or just taking in the views, Leisee is a great place to pause and enjoy the tranquility of the mountains.
Seraina’s Tip: If you're up for a gentle walk, follow the path from Leisee to Findeln. This short hike takes you through meadows and past traditional wooden chalets, leading to some of Zermatt’s best mountain restaurants.
