Wonder if that is an old volcanic crater such as Crater Lake in the States. 

Had to look this up, don't think that area of the world is know to have volcanoes.  

Would be interesting to know what sort of filter the photographer used to get that effect.

 

"The lake is fed through a series of mountain creeks and drains underground. The water then resurfaces as the Oeschibach. Part of it is captured for electricity production and as water supply for Kandersteg.

In observations from 1931 to 1965, the elevation of the lake surface varied between 1,566.09 metres (5,138.1 ft) and 1,581.9 metres (5,190 ft). The average seasonal variation was 12.2 metres (40 ft) (September/April).

The lake is generally frozen during five months, from December to May. From time to time ice skating is possible on the ice."
