Lünersee & Lünerseebahn

Opening hours, prices & experiences

The Lünerseebahn cable car takes you from the valley station at the end of the Brandnertal valley to the mountain station at the Lünersee dam in just six minutes. 1,970 meters above sea level, you can expect not only fresh mountain air, but also the impressive Lünersee, one of the largest high mountain lakes in Vorarlberg and also the largest reservoir for power generation. When it was commissioned in 1958, the Lünersee plant was considered the most powerful pumped storage plant in the world. The lake covers around 112 hectares and holds up to 78.3 million cubic meters of water - a natural and technical jewel in the heart of the Rätikon.

Hiking at the Lünersee

Fishing & Climbing at Lünersee

In addition to hiking, fishing and climbing are also popular activities at Lake Lünen - a real paradise for outdoor fans.

Good luck fishing! Lake Lünersee is a paradise for anglers. The impressive backdrop of the Schesaplana is a wonderful place to relax and enjoy nature. Thanks to the Lünerseebahn cable car, you can reach your fishing spot in just a few minutes.

Climbing enthusiasts will also get their money's worth here. Right next to the valley station of the Lünerseebahn cable car is a small, fine climbing garden with around 20 routes of medium difficulty as well as a short but challenging practice via ferrata. The approach only takes around five minutes - perfect for a quick climbing session in the best Rätikon limestone.
