The Taraspsee (also Tarasp See or Taraspersee , Rhaeto-Romanic in the idiom Vallader Lai da Tarasp , pronunciation [lai dɐ tɐ'raʃp] ^{? / I} ) is a Swiss lake located in the scattered settlement of Tarasp in the Sur Tasna district in Graubünden .

The lake measures about two hectares and is at an altitude of 1404 m. On the south side, Tarasp Castle rises on a rock cone at an altitude of almost 1500 m .

The water lies in a hollow without any drainage. In May 2006 an extinction of crayfish of unknown origin was registered. The large stocks of mussels and fish were not affected.
