The mountain lakes of the Tiroler Zugspitz Arena are true natural gems set amidst the Alps. The Seebensee captivates visitors with its icy, turquoise waters and spectacular views of the Zugspitze massif. Just a little higher lies the Drachensee, below the Coburger Hut, known for its crystal-clear yet equally cold water.

The Almsee near the Ehrwalder Alm and the Weissensee are also among the most beautiful destinations for nature lovers and hikers.

These alpine lakes are accessible via a variety of scenic hiking trails and offer ideal conditions for anyone looking to combine nature, activity and breathtaking landscapes.

You can find tours to these lakes in our tour portal.

Beyond the well-known highlights, numerous smaller alpine lakes in the Tiroler Zugspitz Arena are waiting to be discovered. The Igelsee only appears when water levels are sufficient, making it a unique natural phenomenon. The quietly located Dreiensee above Namlos impresses with its remote setting and stunning natural scenery. The Brendlsee is also one of the region’s more tranquil and lesser-known spots.

These lakes are perfect for those looking to enjoy peace and nature away from the more popular routes.

Whether on hot summer days or in changing weather, the pools of the Tiroler Zugspitz Arena offer a wide range of opportunities to swim and relax. With stunning mountain views, the Panoramabad Lermoos and the Bärenbad Berwang invite visitors to enjoy refreshing moments outdoors.

The Bärenbad Berwang is also the highest outdoor pool in Austria, offering a unique combination of cooling water, fresh mountain air and breathtaking scenery.

Even on rainy days, there’s no shortage of swimming fun: at the indoor pool of Hotel Edelweiß in Lermoos and at Hotel Singer in Berwang, guests can enjoy a relaxing swim and unwind.
The indoor pool in Ehrwald is currently undergoing extensive renovation, with completion planned for autumn 2026.

The Loisach springs near Biberwier are among the most unique natural spots in the Tiroler Zugspitz Arena. Here, shimmering green water emerges from the ground in a fascinating way, forming the source of the Loisach River – an impressive natural phenomenon that has been visible for thousands of years.

The vibrant colors of the water and the peaceful surroundings make this a popular destination for hikers, nature lovers and those seeking relaxation. Whether it’s a short walk or a longer tour along the river, the Loisach combines outdoor activity with a truly special nature experience.

The waterfalls of the Tiroler Zugspitz Arena are among the most impressive natural experiences in the region. Whether as the destination of a hike or a short walk, the combination of water, rock and alpine scenery creates unforgettable moments.

Among the most well-known are the Häselgör Waterfall and the impressive Rotlech Gorge with the Rotlech Waterfall, both showcasing the raw power of nature. The Seeben Waterfall below Seebensee and the more quietly located Auer Waterfall offer further highlights for nature lovers and hikers.

A great viewpoint of the Seeben Waterfall can be found along the Water Adventure Trail "Zugspitzi am Gaisbach". This varied circular route leads from Ehrwald along the stream and back into the valley.
Please note: The Seeben via ferrata is only suitable for experienced climbers.

All waterfalls (or viewpoints) are accessible via scenic hiking trails and can easily be combined with tours through the alpine landscape of the Tiroler Zugspitz Arena.
