Pillersee

Pillersee is a lake located in the Pillerseetal valley in Tyrol, Austria. It is situated in the Kitzbühel Alps, close to the border with Germany. The lake is a popular tourist destination, particularly during the summer months, offering various recreational activities.

The lake is fed by groundwater and several small streams, contributing to its clear, often emerald-green water. Pillersee has a maximum depth of approximately 7 meters and covers an area of about 2.4 square kilometers. Its relatively shallow depth allows it to warm up sufficiently for swimming during the summer.

Activities available at Pillersee include swimming, sunbathing, and boating. The surrounding area is ideal for hiking and cycling, with numerous trails catering to different fitness levels. In winter, the Pillerseetal transforms into a cross-country skiing and winter hiking area. The nearby town of Pürgg is a central hub for visitors, providing accommodation and amenities. The Pillersee region is known for its natural beauty and its appeal to both active holidaymakers and those seeking relaxation in a scenic alpine environment.
