- Hirschkogel reservoir pond: The “Lake of Tranquillity” is also the highest lake up on the Schmitten.
- Brunnermais reservoir pond: The “Lake of Art” carries its title with pride and with good reason – as the many works of art from the “Art on the Mountain” symposia prove.
- Plettsaukopf reservoir pond: The “Lake for Families” is the biggest of the reservoir ponds and boasts a water playground, a play ship, a sand box and lots of seating options.
- Water reservoir for artificial snowmaking: At the foot of the Schmittenhöhe, Lake Zell is both the “Lake of Boat Tours” and the biggest water reservoir for artificial snowmaking.
