Formarinsee - Lech - Quellgebiet

Der Formarinsee ist ein Hochgebirgssee im Lechquellengebirge im österreichischen Bundesland Vorarlberg. Auf einer Höhe von 1.793 m ü. A. liegt der See in unmittelbarer Nähe zur Roten Wand im Gemeindegebiet von Dalaas.

Ganz in der Nähe des Sees entspringt der Formarinbach, welcher einer der beiden Quellflüsse des Lechs ist. Obwohl eine Namensgleichheit zwischen dem Bach und dem See besteht, entspringt ersterer nicht dem Formarinsee. Nördlich des Sees liegt die Formarinalpe, südlich des Gewässers die Freiburger Hütte, von wo aus ein anspruchsvoller, ausgesetzte Kletterei verlangender Steig auf die Rote Wand führt.
