Suitable for groups

In winter, the Schafkogelsee reservoir serves as a water reserve for the snow-making systems on the Höss ski slopes in Hinterstoder.

In summer you can take a leisurely stroll from the mountain station of the Höss Express chairlift to the reservoir in just a few minutes. From here there are further hikes and you are enchanted by the mountain scenery. The mountain range of the Prielgruppe in the Dead Mountains, together with the Schafkogelsee, offers a kitschy backdrop.

Opening hours
