Tour description

The path takes you to another world: a turquoise pearl at 1,600 meters above sea level surrounded by the high peaks of the Rätikon – here everyday life is quickly forgotten. The themed path is dedicated to the intense turquoise color of the lake. From the mountain station of the Lünerseebahn, it goes once around the lake and back to the mountain railway. Depending on the time of day, sun and shade alternate.

The Lünersee is located at 1,970 meters above sea level and is considered the turquoise-blue jewel of the Rätikon. It used to be the largest natural mountain lake in the Eastern Alps but is now one of the largest reservoirs in western Austria. In 1959, the capacity was increased by an impressive dam. Although the lake is at the end of the Brandertal, it belongs to the municipality of Vandans in the Montafon. Because the alpine pastures by the lake have always been used by farmers from Montafon.

In 2019, the Lünersee won the show "9 Places - 9 Treasures" and was thus named the most beautiful place in Austria.
