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.

A beautiful lake. It was rightly voted the most beautiful place in Austria in the 2019 program "9 places - 9 treasures". And the cable car, which has just been renovated, is also quick and easy to get to the top. But there is also a mountain path from the valley station that leads up. Almost 400 vertical meters have to be mastered here. A very nice hiking trail leads around the lake. Fishing is also worthwhile. However, you need a permit for this.

In this circular walk it is still worth going to the Lünerkrinne. Nice view into the Rellstal and Zimbablick,
