Location and surroundings

Surroundings of the Tambosee. In the foreground the northern ramp of the Splügen Pass . The prominent mountain in the right half of the picture is Pizzo Tambo . In front of it, below the Tambo glacier, lies the Tambosee, and the ski area of ​​Bergbahnen Splügen-Tambo AG at the bottom right. Photo by Walter Mittelholzer from 1923.

The lake is located northeast of Pizzo Tambo below the Tambo glacier in a basin above the Tamboalp above the village of Splügen . Other small lakes in the same basin not far from the Tambosee are not named on the map. Two of them above the Tambosee at 2330  m and 2345  m are only slightly smaller than the Tambosee.

The valley basin lies above the Tamboalp in a valley that runs parallel to the northern ramp of the Splügen Pass . The water flows as a Tambobach northwards down to the Tamboalp and flows southeast of Medels in the Rheinwald into the Hinterrhein .
