Vilsalp Lake

One of the most beautiful lakeside settings I've ever seen. It's a lovely place to walk along well-maintained footpaths. There's also a bus service to the lake.

The Vilsalpsee is one of the most beautiful mountain lakes in the Tannheimer Tal, if not in the whole of Tyrol. Nestled in a nature reserve and surrounded by towering mountains, it offers you a unique panorama. The way here is simple and well developed, making it suitable for the whole family.

If you like, you can take the bus from the north shore or return to Tannheim with a tourist train. At the bus stop you will also find the Fischerhütte restaurant and the Gasthof Vilsalpsee.

If the weather is good, an early start is not a disadvantage if you want to enjoy a bit of silence.
From noon onwards, the crowds flock to the Vilsalpsee, although many of the other visitors apparently do not notice.
The play of colors in the lake is simply terrific, depending on the position of the sun and the perspective. …
