Switzerland Stazersee

Stazersee (Lej da Staz) is a hidden gem near St. Moritz, surrounded by dense pine forests and the towering peaks of the Engadin valley. The small, crystal-clear lake is perfect for capturing tranquil reflections, with a lone tree on the shoreline adding a striking focal point for your compositions. In the early morning, the mist rising from the water creates a mystical atmosphere, making it a perfect spot for moody landscape shots.

Frame the lone tree in the foreground to add a sense of depth and scale. Use a polarizer to reduce reflections and capture the vibrant greens of the surrounding forest. Sunrise and early morning light provide the best conditions for atmospheric shots.

The lake is accessible by car, with parking available nearby. A short, scenic walk through the forest will lead you to the lakeshore. The area is also popular for hiking and wildlife spotting.
