Description Destination
The picturesque Formarinsee shimmers emerald green beneath the mighty Rote Wand – a natural jewel of a special kind. And it’s not just the people of Klostertal and Vorarlberg who think so: In October 2015, the Formarinsee and the Rote Wand were voted the most beautiful places in Austria in the ORF television program “9 Places, 9 Treasures”.
The area around the Rote Wand and Lake Formarin was a tropical sea 145 million years ago. Numerous ammonites and other fossils in the rock layers are evidence of this. The Formarinsee itself is a natural lake that is formed every year from meltwater.
The Rote Wand owes its name to a red limestone band that stretches across the southern flank. With its 2,704 m, the Rote Wand is the second highest mountain in the Lechquellen Mountains.
The Formarinsee is always a great destination, whether for a circular hike around the lake, a challenging tour e.g. from Dalaas or for climbing on the Rote Wand or in the family climbing garden. And if you're lucky, you might even come across a few members of the ibex colony that has found its home here.
