    Natural jewel

The Rifflsee lake in the Pitztal Valley

Dazzling emerald in the Alps

Nestling high in the mountins at 2,200 metres above sea level, Rifflsee lake is a natural jewel surrounded by a picture-perfect mountain landscape. Its still waters shimmer in a thousand shades of green and blue, set against the craggy peaks of the Kaunergrat RIdge in the background. The lake is a good starting point for walks and hikes, while others prefer to simply relax on the shore and admire the scenery. On hot summer days the ice-cold waters provide a very refreshing experience! Are you brave enough to give it a try?

A great day out in the mountains for all the family.
