Lago dei Quattro Cantoni in Svizzera

It covers an area of 113 km² and reaches a maximum depth of 214 meters. It is called so because it faces the historic cantons of Schwyz, Uri, and Unterwalden, plus that of Lucerne. From an environmental point of view, it features an enviable variety of biotopes and climate zones. In its waters, constantly traversed by boats loaded with goods and tourists, magnificent pre-Alpine peaks are reflected, which are a small Eden for hikers and lovers of outdoor life. In summer, the shores become welcoming beaches, and the numerous hotels offer holidays characterized by rest and tranquility. The northwestern branch is also called Lake Lucerne; the northernmost one, Lake Kussnacht; the basins of Weggis and Gersau instead take the names of Vierwald and Statter See, while the Uri section to the southwest is called Urnersee.
