Stand-up paddling doesn't end with summer. In autumn, Swiss mountain lakes reveal their most beautiful side: emerald green, crystal-clear, and framed by golden larch trees. With an ultralight SUP in your backpack, you can discover places you can only reach on foot – and experience the vastness of nature from a completely new perspective.
Lake Cresta – small but mighty
The somewhat remote Lake Cresta , nestled in the forest near Flims, is considered one of the most beautiful lakes in Switzerland. It's small but mighty – with emerald-green water and a unique atmosphere. In autumn, when the leaves glow golden, the lake unfolds its very own charm. Its crystal-clear waters invite you to a relaxing paddle.
Boarding point: At the Crestasee beach (bus: Trin-Mulin, Crestassee)
Obersee Arosa – Alpine scenery in the heart of the village
The Obersee lake in Arosa is located in the heart of the village – yet still offers a magnificent Alpine backdrop . It's ideal if you want to jump straight into the water after a hike without having to walk long distances.
In autumn, the lake is less busy, the clear air and the mountain peaks in the background provide a unique panorama for stand-up paddling.
Entry: Various places around the lake
Heidsee – golden larches and clear mountain air
At an altitude of 1,500 meters, Lake Heidsee in Lenzerheide is a hotspot for outdoor enthusiasts. In autumn, the surroundings transform: golden larches , fresh mountain air, and expansive panoramas invite you to a relaxing SUP session.
Heidsee is easily accessible and ideal for those who want to combine hiking and paddling.
