Breath-taking views

Pertisau and Lake Achensee are a true hiking paradise.

Across the region, you will find a hiking network comprising 450 kilometres of signed and well-maintained trails. Choose from flat paths along the Achensee, leisurely family hikes or challenging summit tours through the Karwendel and Rofan mountains.

Our favourite tour goes to the Bärenkopf – you can reach the summit in 2 hours leaving from the mountain station of the Karwendel cable car. At the summit cross, you are rewarded with a magnificent view of Lake Achensee and the Tyrolean Inn Valley – up here, time and space are blissfully forgotten.

The Achensee Tourist Association also offers a weekly hiking programme with guided tours from May until October.

golfing.

on the most beautiful courses in the entire alpine region

The Golfclub Achensee has been included in the “Leading Golf Courses” and in 1934 was one of the first courses in the whole of Austria. Our house is situated right by the second tee; the clubhouse is just a few minutes’ walk away. Golfclub Achensee is actually said to be one of the most beautiful courses in the Alps, on account of the special landscape in Pertisau.
