Tremorgio Lake Lake

Address: Tremorgio Lake (Lago di Tremorgio), Ticino, Switzerland - near Rodi and the Leventina valley

Lago di Tremorgio is an alpine lake in the canton of Ticino, Switzerland, located in the Leventina area at about 1,851 metres above sea level. It is a notable high-mountain lake in the southern Swiss Alps.

The lake is a compact mountain basin popular with hikers and day-trippers. It is served by a cable car from the village of Rodi and by marked footpaths that connect to surrounding trails and ridges.

The basin is a natural alpine lake that has long been used for summer recreation and mountain walking; facilities at the site are oriented to visitors rather than large-scale development. Over time access has been improved with the addition of the cable car and maintained trails.

Geographically the lake sits above the village of Rodi-Fiesso in Ticino, within the southern Swiss Alps. It occupies a high-mountain position with steep valley slopes around it and is part of the watershed of the Leventina valley.

• Elevation: Sits at high elevation above the valley floor, reaching roughly 1,851 metres above sea level.
• Access: Reached by a mountain cable car from the nearby village of Rodi and by marked alpine footpaths, making it a common day’s destination for hikers.

Accessible via cable car from Rodi-Fiesso (if the cable car is operating) and a short hike from the upper station. Rodi-Fiesso is reached by regional trains on the Gotthard/Leventina line; check seasonal cable car operations.

• The lake sits above mountain villages; plan for several hours of hiking if approaching on foot.
• Bring a windproof layer-alpine lakes often have chilly gusts even on sunny days.
• Wildlife sightings are common in early morning; bring binoculars for marmots and birds.
