Lägh da Cavloc (Italian: Lago di Cavloccio) is a lake near Maloja Pass in the Val Forno, Grisons, Switzerland.
While the northern shore is rocky and lined with pine trees, there is a beach on the shallow southern shore that is a popular swimming spot despite the cold water temperature.[1]
There is a mountain restaurant[2] at the lake and the Alp da Cavloc is located south of the lake.
Access
[edit]The lake can be reached on an easy hiking trail from Maloja in about an hour's hiking time.[3] In winter, the trail is groomed as a winter hiking trail and cross-country ski trail.[3]
Art and culture
[edit]The lake was painted by Giovanni Giacometti in 1922.[4]
