Salvelinus umbla, also known as lake char, is a species of char found in certain lakes of the region of the Alps in Europe.[2]

This char species usually inhabits the deeper waters of the lakes, feeding on crustaceans, insects and benthic fauna. Larger specimens can be piscivores. They look for areas with pebbly or stony bottom on steep slopes, at depths between 30 and 120 m during the spawning season.[3]
