Every lake here sits at a different altitude, which is why the colour changes from turquoise to slate within a single valley.

Getting around

Train and postbus connections cover all ten, so a rental car is optional. Buy a day pass for the region rather than single tickets; two lakes per day is a comfortable pace.
