Lake Lüner

Highlight • Lake

The Lünersee is one of the largest lakes in the Austrian province of Vorarlberg in the municipality of Vandans.
It lies at an altitude of 1970 m above sea level. A. at the foot of the Schesaplana. In 1959 Vorarlberger Illwerke AG enlarged the storage volume of the lake with a dam; since then it has been using the water to generate electricity in the Lünersee plant. Through an artificial tunnel, the lake is fed by the meltwater of the Brandner glacier. The processed water of Lake Lüner is cached in the reservoir Latschau.
The net capacity of Lünersee amounts to 78.3 million m³ (water surface 1.55 km²). This corresponds to about 262 million kWh of stored energy. The water depth is well over 50 meters.
The area around the lake forms the valley end of the Brandnertal valley, which can only be reached via narrow paths or the Lünerseebahn from the Schattenlagant area. Directly at the mountain station at the dam is the Douglasshütte, which serves as a snack and overnight accommodation for hikers.

Totalp Hut

Highlight • Mountain Hut

After the Totalphütte was completely destroyed by an avalanche in spring 2019, it has now been rebuilt and invites you to enjoy food and drink. The service is nice and friendly. The nature is simply indescribable. It is not for nothing that the Lünersee was voted the most beautiful place. Just walk there and be happy.
