Limmerensee, located high in the Glarus Alps above Glarus Süd, is a striking alpine reservoir known for its turquoise waters and steep rock walls that create a dramatic natural amphitheater. Photographers are rewarded with panoramic views and unique compositions, especially from the Limmern dam or the surrounding hiking trails that offer elevated vantage points. The lake’s mirror-like surface reflects the surrounding cliffs and sky, ideal for wide-angle landscape shots. Reaching Limmerensee involves a hike from the Tierfehd cable car station, including a tunnel passage and steep alpine trails, so proper gear and planning are essential. Best visited in late spring through early autumn, this remote location offers raw alpine beauty with minimal crowds. (Glarus Süd, Switzerland)
