Five lakes trail
The Five Lakes Trail in Pizol is justifiably renowned as one of Switzerland’s top panoramic hikes. The trail never fails to impress, with its five crystal-clear mountain lakes and breath-taking views of the Glarner and Buendner mountain ranges, the Rhine Valley and vistas stretching as far as Lake Constance.
Good hiking boots and a reasonable level of fitness are essential for this excursion, as the trail includes some steep ascents and descents over scree and boulders.

The club’s bistro is open for mid-round snacks and drinks or perhaps a well-deserved meal at the end of your game.
