'''Rifflsee''' is a lake of Tyrol, Austria.<ref>{{Cite book|title=Geographisches Namenbuch Österreichs = Gazetteer of Austria|last=Josef.|first=Breu|date=1975|publisher=Verl. d. Österr. Akad. d. Wiss|others=Österreichische Kartographische Kommission. Abteilung für Kartographische Ortsnamenkunde.|isbn=3700101147|location=Wien|pages=235|oclc=2374306}}</ref> It is the largest lake in the Ötztal Alps. The mountain lake is located in the Kaunergrat west of the Pitztal and is a typical moraine reservoir. The lake fills an extensive valley, the glacier-turbid water looks greenish. It is framed in the north and west by rugged peaks of the Kaunergrat, particularly striking are Seekogel and Rostizkogel. In sunny and warm weather, a considerable amount of melt water is supplied by the Seekarles, Loch, and Rifflferner.
An alpine club hut called the Rifflseehütte is located nearby.
