Speichersee Valos, Alpine reservoir in Vaz/Obervaz, Switzerland

Speichersee Valos is a storage reservoir located at about 1674 meters elevation near Lenzerheide with a sizable water body held in a contained basin. Multiple hiking trails provide access around the shoreline and the landscape is framed by mountain slopes.

Speichersee Valos was built in 2007/2008 on the eastern slope of the Piz Scalottas, west of Lenzerheide/Lai, at 1674 m above sea level. It holds 110,000 cubic metres of water and, together with the Scharmoin and Heidbüel reservoirs, supplies water for snowmaking on the Lenzerheide ski slopes.

The reservoir is fed by water collected for snowmaking on the Lenzerheide ski slopes, together with the Scharmoin and Heidbüel reservoirs. On its northern shore are a barbecue area and a children's playground, which visitors reach on foot from Lenzerheide.

The shoreline is accessible from several hiking trails that depart from Lenzerheide and offer varying levels of difficulty for different visitors. Expect mountain weather and bring appropriate clothing when planning to spend extended time outdoors in this area.
