Hike to the lake Klaussee

Embedded in a dreamlike and picturesque mountain scenery, the lake Klaussee is located at 2,162 meters above sea level. A place to switch off, a haven of peace and a place to recharge your batteries. A tipical mountain lake? Quite the opposite. Protected from the wind and framed by the Jochkofel, the Klaussee offers an impressive oasis of tranquility that can be easily reached by anyone starting from the mountain station. An unforgettable day hike awaits you!

Must do

lake Klaussee 2.162m

Ascent with the K-Express cable car from Steinhaus up to 1,600m. Following trail no. 33 you pass a series of rustic huts. After almost 1.5 hours, you reach your destination at 2,162m above sea level: the Klaussee lake is located in a basin below the Jochkofel.
It is worth taking a tour around the lake to enjoy the beautiful view across the water to the Zillertal Alps. Wild berries and alpine roses thrive in the heathland, while marmots whistle an alarm in the piles of stones. The descent follows the same route. Those wishing to extend the tour can climb even higher or extend it to a circular hike through the Breite Rast and Großklausen valley.
