Black frozen lake Sils. Lake Sils (German Silsersee, Romansh: Lej da Segl) is a lake in the Upper Engadine valley, Grisons, Switzerland. It takes its name from the village of Sils im Engadin. The lake lies at an altitude of 1,797 metres above sea level, between Maloja Pass and Lake Silvaplana. Several mountains over 3,000 metres overlook the lake, notably Piz Corvatsch, Piz Grevasalvas and Piz da la Margna. The lake's drainage basin culminates at Piz Fora (3,336 m) and comprises the Vadrec da Fedoz glacier.
With a surface area of 4.1 km², Lake Sils is the largest lake of the Engadine. It is also the largest natural lake in the Alps lying above 1,000 metres. The lake was formed by a prehistoric landslide dam, similarly to Lake Silvaplana (Source: Wikipedia).

Il s’agit d’un lac alpin artificiel, situé près du Julierpass, dans la commune de Marmorera. Lorsque le barrage de Marmorera fut terminé, en 1954, l'ancienne commune Marmorera fut engloutie et reconstruite au-dessus du barrage et de son lac de retenue, sur la route 3 ou Julierstrasse.
Le village de Silvaplana est situé à la jonction des lacs de Champfèr (Champfersee) et de Silvana (Silvaplanersee), canton des Grisons, Suisse. Cette vue a été captée à partir de la route 27 qui mène au nord vers Sankt Moritz et au sud vers la jonction avec la route 3.
Le Lac de Champfèr (Champfersee) est situé sur le plateau engadinois. Il est sur le territoire de la commune de Silvaplana. À l'ouest le lac est dominé par le piz Albana. Il est relié au lac de Silvaplana puisque situé directement au nord/nord-est de ce dernier mais aussi connecté au lac de Sankt Moritz par la rivière Inn.

Man glaubt es kaum, aber in dem See kann man schwimmen. Ich war so ca. 20 mal drinnen. In der unglaublichen Sommerhitze tat das richtig gut so eine Abkühlung. Das Wasser war ca. 12°C.

"Lago Bianco (literally "White Lake") is a reservoir at the Bernina pass in the Swiss canton of Graubünden. It has an elevation of 2,234 m (7,329 ft), a length of 2.85 km (1.77 mi), a surface area of 1.50 km2 (0.58 sq mi) and a maximum depth of 53 m (174 ft). Once the site of two smaller lakes (Lago Bianco and Lago della Scala), the current reservoir was formed by the constructions of two dams (Scala and Arlas) at its southern and northern ends. The current lake drains to the south, as did both its precursor lakes, with its water eventually reaching the Mediterranean via the rivers Poschiavino, Adda and Po. By contrast, Lej Nair, just below the northern dam. drains north into the Black Sea via the rivers Inn and Danube.[1][2]
The summit of the Bernina railway line, which is the highest mountain crossing railway in Europe, runs alongside the eastern side of the lake, with the Ospizio Bernina station at roughly the mid-point. The road across the Bernina pass (Hauptstrasse 29) follows a higher route on the same side of the lake. Most of the lake lies within the municipality of Poschiavo, although the most northerly section and the northern dam lie within the municipality of Pontresina.[1]
The Lago Bianco reservoir was created between 1910 and 1911 in order to provide a constant supply of water to a series of hydro-electric power plants in the Val Poschiavo. It has a maximum volume of 18.6 million cubic metres (15,100 acre⋅ft). Initially water was discharged into natural watercourses as far as a power station intake at Cavaglia that fed the Robbia power station [de] at San Carlo. However, in 1927 two power stations were built between the lake and Cavaglia. The highest of these, the Palü power station [de] at Lago Palü, is now fed by a pipeline from the southern end of the reservoir.
There are current proposals to construct a pumped storage scheme based on Lago Bianco and the Lago di Poschiavo some 1,270 metres (4,170 ft) below. This would involve creating a 18.1 kilometres (11.2 mi) long tunnel high along the western side of the Val di Poschiavo, followed by 2.4 kilometres (1.5 mi) long shaft to an underground power plant on the banks of the Lago di Poschiavo. This would have a total installed capacity of 1000 MW and would consume electricity to pump water to the higher level at times of low demand and release water to generate electricity in times of high demand. The scheme would involve raising the dams at either end of Lago Bianco by 4.35 metres (14.3 ft). The proposals have received formal consent from the cantonal authorities, but as of 2016 are not believed to be financially viable.

Sankt Moritz Dorf au bord du lac Sankt Moritzersee, canton des Grisons, Suisse.
Une vue panoramique à partir de la kirche San Karl de St. Moritz-Bad située en bordure du lac Sankt Moritzersee, à l'embouchure de la rivière Inn. On reconnaît la silhouette massive du Badrutt's Palace Hotel (1896), le clocher (1896) de la Evangelisch-reformierte Kirchgemeinde de Sankt Moritz et la Tour penchée, i.e. le clocher de l'ancienne église de Saint-Moritz, un point de repère qui date du 13e siècle.
La commune Saint-Moritz est située dans l’Engadine, au bord de l’Inn. Elle s’étale en gradin au-dessus de son lac. Elle est une des plus anciennes stations de sports d'hiver du monde, réputée pour ses 322 jours de soleil par an. Elle a organisé à deux reprises les Jeux olympiques d'hiver, en 1928 et 1948.
La station se divise en deux parties : Saint-Moritz-Dorf (1 822 m d’altitude), le village lui-même, regroupé autour d’une tour inclinée (campanile de l’église Saint-Mauritius) et Saint-Moritz-Bad (1 774 m d’altitude), à l’embouchure de l’Inn dans le lac, là où se trouvent les hôtels les plus récents et les établissements thermaux.

Le col de la Bernina est un col des Alpes suisses dans le canton des Grisons. Il culmine à 2 328 mètres d'altitude. Il relie l’Engadine à la Valteline, en Italie. C'est le plus haut col de Suisse et des Alpes qui reste ouvert toute l'année.
Au sommet du col se trouvent l’hospice (Ospizio Bernina) et deux lacs : le Lej Nair, qui appartient au bassin de l’Inn et le Lago Bianco, qui appartient au bassin du Pô. Le col de Bernina se trouve sur la ligne de partage des eaux entre la mer Noire et la mer Adriatique. Il sépare également deux langues et deux cultures : l’Engadine où se parle le romanche et le val Poschiavo où se parle l’italien.
La route a été ouverte entre 1842 et 1865, mesure 38 kilomètres et a une déclivité de 10 %

Der Lai da Palpuogna (Palpuognasee auf Deutsch) befindet sich oberhalb des Dörfchens Preda auf dem Gebiet der Gemeinde Bergün/Bravuogn im Kanton Graubünden. Der Bündner Bergsee liegt auf einer Höhe von 1917 Metern über Meer direkt an der Albulapassstrasse. Der See ist Teil des Naturpark „Parc Ela“ und wird vom Fluss Albula durchflossen. Der Palpuognasee ist etwa 500m lang, knapp 200m breit und maximal 25m tief.
Lärchen säumen das Ufer des Sees und die blaugründe Tönung lässt den See malerisch wirken. Nicht umsonst wurde der Palpuognasee vom Publikum des Schweizer Fernsehens zum „schönsten Flecken der Schweiz“ gewählt. Der See ist heute im Besitz der Elektrizitätswerke Bergün, die ihn als Stausee nutzen. Deshalb herrscht am Bergsee Badeverbot und somit ist das Baden im Lai da Palpuogna verboten.
Breathtaking view of Passo del Maloja - This passroad at the upper end of the Engadin Valley in Switzerland is considered to be one of the most beautiful mountain passes in the Alps. It's always again an adventure driving up and down this scenic road.

After the first night in the Hotel Preda Kulm/Bergün /Canton Grisons, the mountains were in the most beautiful light.
So windows open, tripod and camera build and take pictures, because experience has shown that this spectacle takes only a few minutes in the sky.
The picture is a 16:8 cut of a large panorama of 9 vertical pictures a' 110 mm.
I recommend double-clicking for extra large view!

It's good to see that these meadows in the Alps seem to be still intact. In the lower regions you hardly ever see a meadow with a lot of different flowers, due to enormous production pressure which leads to 5-7 cuts per year, which doesn't help bio-diversity...

As photographers, you know, that usually it doesn't help a lot to take great pictures when it rains. Of course you don't like it when the sun shines plain down either...yes, we are a spoiled species... ;))
But this 'rainy day in July' was just perfect to take pictures of this picturesque lake...

A bordo del mítico tren ,Bernina Express, partimos desde Tirano llegamos al destino final de la joven ciudad de St . Moritz. Situada en la comuna suiza del cantón de los Grisones, en el distrito de Maloja, círculo de Alta Engadina , a orillas del río Eno. Tiene una población de 5.029 habitantes y debido a sus centros de esquí cercanos, es un importante lugar turístico.
La historia indica que “San Mauricio”, para el habla hispana, es un santo cristiano primitivo del sur de Egipto que se dice, que fue martirizado en la Suiza romana del siglo III mientras servía como líder de la Legión Tebana . Las ofrendas votivas, espadas y agujas de la Edad del Bronce encontradas en la base de los manantiales en St. Moritz indican que los celtas ya las habían descubierto. St. Moritz se menciona por primera vez alrededor de 1137–39 como ad “sanctum Mauricium” .Los peregrinos viajaban a San Mauricio a menudo a la iglesia de los manantiales, donde bebían de las benditas y burbujeantes aguas , con la esperanza de ser sanados.
