Lake Kutcherla is a lake in Altai in the Russian Federation. It is located on the northern slopes of the Katun Mountains in the Altai Republic, above the river of the same name.
It is one of the most important glacial lakes of the region.
The lake is surrounded by subalpine and alpine vegetation, with the mountain slopes covered with conifers. Siberian ibex can be found here, which unfortunately are subject to poaching. The rare snow leopard sometimes appears in the area. The fish that live in its waters are mainly grayling and rainbow trout.
The lake with the emerald color of its waters is a popular destination for both Russian and foreign hiking expeditions. It is a part of the Katun Nature Reserve and therefore a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
