Alpine lakes appear blue because of the way sunlight interacts with the water. The water in these lakes is very clear and free of sediment, allowing sunlight to penetrate deeply. When sunlight hits the water, it is absorbed by the water molecules and scattered in all directions. Blue light is scattered the most, giving the lake its blue color.
