Dive-site story
Situated along the dramatic northern shore of Walensee, this alpine lake site features a sheer underwater cliff plunge typical of the region. Divers enter from the rocky shoreline beneath the road and immediately encounter steep limestone bedrock that drops rapidly into dark, cold depths. Natural light fades quickly as you descend along the wall, demanding good buoyancy control and dependable illumination to explore the fissures and layered rock strata.
