Lägh da Cavloc (Italian: Lago di Cavloccio) is a lake near Maloja Pass in the Val Forno, Grisons, Switzerland.
While the northern shore is rocky and lined with pine trees, there is a beach on the shallow southern shore that is a popular swimming spot despite the cold water temperature.[1]
There is a mountain restaurant[2] at the lake and the Alp da Cavloc is located south of the lake.
The lake can be reached on an easy hiking trail from Maloja in about an hour's hiking time.[3] In winter, the trail is groomed as a winter hiking trail and cross-country ski trail.
The lake was painted by Giovanni Giacometti in 1922.[4]
