Your vacation at Lake Achensee

5 picturesque villages, the crystal-clear Achensee and the impressive mountains of the Karwendel and Rofan await sporty and active vacationers as well as connoisseurs.

Hiking, mountain biking, golfing or water sports: the recreational and leisure activities around Tirol's largest lake offer the right vacation experience for everyone. Impressive figures illustrate the variety: 500 km of well-maintained and marked hiking trails, from gently flat to tours at 2,500 m, lead through the region's fantastic natural landscape. Including the largest protected area in the Northern Alps, the "Alpenpark Karwendel". Those who want to go even higher are in good hands in the climbing areas, climbing gardens and climbing routes. The absolute highlight of the region is Austria's only 5-summit via ferrata.

Lake Achensee has long since made a name for itself as the perfect sailing and surfing area in the heart of the Alps: over a length of 9 km, the lake offers ideal wind conditions for sailors, surfers, kitesurfers and, most recently, stand-up paddleboarders. But the lake also offers plenty of space for the Achensee shipping boats, pedal boats and rowing boats, divers, anglers and, of course, all sun-seeking bathers. The colorful splashes of color in the bright blue summer sky are provided by the paragliders, who also feel particularly at home on Lake Achensee. With over 250 km of signposted and approved cycling and mountain biking routes, the Achensee region is one of the most popular biking destinations in Tyrol. Family bike tours around the lake are just as much a part of the offer as challenging and action-packed mountain bike routes at all levels of difficulty.

Running and Nordic walking enthusiasts also get their money's worth at Lake Achensee: with over 180 km of designated running routes and 23 signposted routes of all levels of difficulty, some of which can be combined, Tirol's Sport & Vitality Park offers an ideal starting point for running and walking for ambitious beginners and amateur athletes. The region is also home to the Achensee Run, the most beautiful panoramic run in the Alps, which is being held for the 13th time this year.
