Hintersee is picturesquely suited between steep rock faces. The valley head of the Felbertal is characterised by the mountain lake, which was formed by a rock fall. The ice-cold water of the lake is so clear that you can see all the way to the bottom and the fish cavorting in it.

Please note: The access road to Hintersee, the car park and the camping pitches are closed up . A temporary alternative car park is available for day visitors at Meilinger Boden, before the Meilingeralm. During the closure, Hintersee can only be reached on foot via the signposted hiking trail through the Schößwendklamm gorge. The trail is not wheelchair accessible. Cyclists can ride as far as the temporary car park. From there, they must continue to Hintersee on foot through the gorge.

For safety reasons (avalanche danger), Hintersee will not be accessible by car or on foot during the winter closure beginning October 27, 2026.
