Totensee (altitude 2160m) at Grimsel Pass

Totensee (or Totesee) is a small natural lake (0.18 km²) at the Grimsel Pass (2164 m) in the canton of Valais, Switzerland. It is used as a reservoir and drained into Grimselsee.

 

The name Totensee (also: Lake Toten, literally "Lake of the Dead") is said to be derived from soldiers of Duke Berchtold V of Zähringen driven into the lake by the people of Valais.
