Dive-site story
Located on the southern shore of Lake Walen, Tiefenwinkel offers immediate access to dramatic alpine lake topography. Divers enter from the stony lakeshore and descend over a sloping shelf that transitions quickly into a sheer, dark rock wall. The rugged limestone cliffs plunge into cold, deep water, presenting a moody atmosphere typical of Swiss mountain diving.
