Lake Lans

Lake Lans is a natural body of water located in the highlands south of Innsbruck. Travelers visit this location for outdoor recreation, season-dependent activities: swimming during the summer months and ice skating in the winter.

Getting There

The lake is accessible from the Innsbruck city centre via the local tram system. The journey typically takes a short duration, providing a direct link from the urban area to the highland nature reserve.

Duration of Visit

Depending on the activity, visitors generally spend between two to four hours at the lake. This allows sufficient time for a swim, a walk around the perimeter, or a skating session.

When to Visit

The ideal time to visit depends on the desired activity. Summer is the primary season for swimming, while winter is required for skating. Like most popular nature spots near the city, it can become crowded during weekends and public holidays.

Nearby Attractions

Because of its proximity to other landmarks, the lake can be combined with visits to the following sites:

  • Bergisel (1.6km)
  • Wilten Abbey (2km)
  • Ambras Castle (2.2km)
  • Servitenkirche, Innsbruck (3.2km)
