Lake Lüner
Highlight • Lake
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.

I started at the Lünerseebahn valley station along the “Besser Tritt” up to Lünersee 💚.
Beautiful lake with a fantastic mountain panorama, I would have preferred to stay 🤣
Nothing there, we continue up to the Totalphütte (already closed).
After a short rest, we go over scree, rocks, etc.🙈 …

It takes almost seven hours from the valley station of the Lünerseebahn up to the summit of the Schesaplana and back again.
The first 400 meters of altitude are over the "Bösen Tritt" 😈 up to the Lünersee. You could also take the cable car for this part, but no 🙂

Of course we have reached the summit even if the tour ends before that. Signs set too early.
