The Heusee is located in the Flumserberge ski area at 1,620 meters above sea level. It is fed by the Talbach, which then flows into the Grosssee. There used to be a hotel on the Heusee. However, this was torn down by an avalanche at the end of the 1990s and then rebuilt next door on the Grosssee.
The idyllic lake invites you to take a cool dip in the water in summer. There are barbecue areas around the three lakes, which are popular after hiking and walks.
From the Tannenbodenalp mountain station (Flumserberg) you can reach the Heusee in just under an hour and a half of hiking time.

Hotel Seebenalp at Lake Grosssee

Highlight • Mountain Hut

The traditional hotel originally stood on the Heusee and was torn down by an avalanche in 1898 and rebuilt in 1907 at its current location on the Grosssee. Run as a spa hotel, the house accommodated asthma sufferers, among others, who appreciated the healthy mountain climate and the idyllic location.

View of Walensee and the Churfirsten

Highlight • Viewpoint

Whether in summer or in winter - the view from here over Lake Walen and to the Churfirsten is simply a dream and when the fog veils the lake in autumn or winter, a completely new landscape is created.
