The overall vibe of the lake is absolutly magestic. You can go for a more serene and relaxed trip up north, or you can venture down south where its more lively and there is more to do. This is a great destination for anyone who wants to see some stunning, pristine water set high up in the beautiful mountains. ** Fair warning, because this town is populare as a ski resort it is more expensive than other destinations you may be considering.
