The lake is surrounded in the north and east of the Dead Mountains foothills. Situated on the western shore is the village Altaussee. The catchment area of the lake is 54 square kilometers and is located entirely in the Dead Mountains. It is drained by the Altausseer Traun, one of the three headwaters of the Traun.
