The Zeller See, which is bordered to the west by the Schmittenhöhe (1965 m) and to the east by the Hundstein (2116 m), lies in the scouring of a north-south oriented, tectonically predetermined transverse valley to the Salzachtal by the ice masses of the northern Glocknergruppe. It was formed from the end of the Bühl-Stadial to the Steinach-Stadial, around 17,000 years ago. The existing body of water today, whose northern part is filled with fluviatile gravel from the Saalach and the southern part from the Salzach, is the remainder of a lake that, in the Late Glacial period, extended as far as Saalfelden and filled the adjoining Salzach longitudinal valley to the south. The lake level is likely to have been above 800 m. From 16,000 to about 10,000 BC, the water level was between 760 m until it finally dropped to the current level of 749.7 m above sea level.
