Bannalpsee is a reservoir in the municipality of Wolfenschiessen in the Swiss canton of Nidwalden.[1]

The reservoir's surface area is 16 hectares (40 acres). The construction of the reservoir was decided in 1934 and completed in 1937. The reservoir is operated by Elektrizitätswerk Nidwalden.[2]

The lake can be reached by a cable car from Oberrickenbach, which in turn is linked by post bus service to Wolfenschiessen station on the Luzern–Stans–Engelberg railway line.[1][3]
