The Achensee region is the cradle of professional cross-country skiing instruction.

WINTER MAGIC AT LAKE ACHENSEE
Skiing is not the only thing to do at Lake Achensee in the winter. The region boasts a huge variety of winter activities beyond the ski slopes.

What could be more romantic than a horse sleigh ride? Hop aboard and cuddle up beneath warm blankets while powerful, well-groomed horses pull you through the fairytale winter wonderland. Fancy an exhilarating toboggan ride?

Tobogganing is the quintessential winter experience guaranteed to delight both young and old. The Achensee region has several natural toboggan runs, most of which are floodlit after nightfall, and some even until midnight.

Ice sports are also very popular in the wintertime. How about taking a spin on the ice rink? Gliding leisurely over the smooth surface while soaking in gorgeous views of the snow-capped mountains and the tranquil lake is an amazing experience.

And where there is ice, there are often people playing ice stock sports, a convivial and fun activity to be enjoyed with friends or the family. Or maybe you get the opportunity to compete with other Achensee visitors? Don’t worry, the game is one of the best and easiest ways to break the ice with someone.

HORSE SLEIGH RIDES AT LAKE ACHENSEE

Limitless winter fun for the young and young at heart: Tobogganing is a fantastic outdoor winter pursuit for all ages, and the Achensee holiday region boasts the requisite natural toboggan runs.

CYCLING & BIKING AT LAKE ACHENSEE

There are plenty of activities that can make you happy, but for many cycling is the best sport ever. It’s a versatile experience enjoyed by people of all ages and abilities.

Explore Lake Achensee on two wheels: The stunning mountain and lake scenery of the Achensee region offers something for everyone, whether you are looking for challenging mountain bike tours or leisurely cycle rides.

The perfect way to round off your cycling adventure is taking a dip in Lake Achensee. If a full-body immersion is too cold for you, you can at least cool off your tired legs.

Along the lake, in the valley. The varied topography makes Lake Achensee the perfect destination for recreational cyclists who are looking to connect with nature. Gentle paths travel alongside the lakeshore and in the romantic side valleys, making them ideal family cycle rides.

On the mountains. Whether your destination is the summit or the mountain hut is up to you. Both options offer fascinating views of the mountain world and quite often also of Lake Achensee.

WATER SPORTS AT LAKE ACHENSEE
Crystal-clear water set against a backdrop of majestic mountains: There’s no need to travel to Emerald Lake in Canada or to the Aurlandsfjord in Norway. If you are looking for versatile water activities, Lake Achensee is your dream destination.

There’s always a breeze at Lake Achensee, and occasionally strong winds blow. The lake is 133 metres at its deepest point. In summer, the water reaches a maximum temperature of 22° C.

Perfect wind conditions: Its reliable winds make Lake Achensee one of Austria’s best lakes for water sports. On some days, the wind even reaches force 5. Lake Achensee provides water sports enthusiasts of all abilities with everything they need to get into water sports.

ANGLING AND FLY-FISHING AT LAKE ACHENSEE
Lake Achensee is known for its stunning turquoise colours and excellent water quality. But did you know that the natural glacial lake is already 20,000 years old? Today, the lake known as the “Tirolean Sea” is fed subterraneously by the tributaries Ampelsbach and Dürrach and by the Achenkirch springs.

The lake’s diverse fish population including perch, rainbow trout, brook trout, whitefish, and pike make it an ideal location for recreational angling and fly-fishing. The Steinberger Ache offers 12 kilometres of fishing grounds that let fly-fishing enthusiasts soak in the quiet and solitude.

Nature lovers find their bliss in the gorge which is home to beautifully marked brown trouts. The Rissbach at Ahornboden in Hinteriss offers 35 kilometres of unspoilt stream with an excellent and self-sustaining brown trout population.

One of the last wild rivers in Tirol, the Rissbach enjoys a spectacular setting backdropped by the Nature Park Karwendel and is perfect to connect with nature.

SUP, PEDAL BOATS & MORE
What started as a trend sport has long since established itself as a relaxed summer family activity on the lake: standup paddle boarding (SUP). If you are looking for more “classic” ways to explore the lake, get out on the water in a kayak, canoe or pedal boat.

Standup paddle boarding (SUP) is a fun fitness activity where you stand on a board – similar to a large surfboard. You use a paddle to propel yourself through the water in a standing position, which is an excellent full-body workout.

Even beginners will get the hang of keeping their balance in no time! Kids can let off some steam and compete in races while the adults paddle leisurely across the lake, adoring the stunning panorama and the fish in the lake.

Alternatively, the SUP works like an air mattress: Move out onto the lake and bask in the sun. And if you get too hot on the board, just take the plunge into the cool water.

A popular SUP tour starts in the Buchau and leads counterclockwise along the lakeshore. If you’re lucky, you will have a little tailwind and you can save the more beautiful western bank for the way back.

At Camping Achensee Schwarzenau, you cross the lake and paddle back in a southerly direction. This tour covers about 13 kilometres but there are also shorter tours.

For more information on tours and SUP courses, please ask at the rental stations. Kayaking, canoeing and leisurely pedal boat tours are a highly enjoyable way to experience Lake Achensee and its magnificent surroundings.

DIVING IN LAKE ACHENSEE
Have you ever wondered what’s at the bottom of Tirol’s largest lake? Suit up and dive in! Lake Achensee has drinking water quality and on some days underwater visibility is up to ten metres, making it a popular spot for recreational diving.

The three most popular diving spots are in the eastern part of the lake: Hechenberg (advanced dive site), Schwarzenau (suitable for beginners) and the dive site of the Diving Club Innsbruck north of the tunnel in the direction of Achenkirch.

Divers can go sightseeing close to the lakeshore, where all kinds of curiosities can be spotted under water, such as an old Opel “Blitz”, a statue of the Madonna and a sunken VW Beetle.

The Diving Club Innsbruck has also created a very accessible diver’s paradise. A series of individual attractions are connected underwater with a rope and are located at different depths. In addition to a cable car gondola, a telephone booth and a letterbox, there is even a treasure chest to explore.

HIKING IN THE KARWENDEL & ROFAN MOUNTAINS
Lake Achensee is surrounded by two mountain ranges: The Rofan and the Karwendel mountains are best explored on foot. Those who want to go up the mountains without enduring the climb can enjoy a scenic gondola ride and savour the views all the way up.

The Rofan mountains to the east of Lake Achensee are rugged and gentle at the same time. On the high plateau, gentle paths climb over lush meadows to the peaks whose rock faces fall away precipitously on the other side.

The Karwendel mountains, which lie to the west, are home to the region’s most splendid flora and fauna and boast the highest population of golden eagles in the Alps. Comprising over 727km² the Nature Park Karwendel is the largest nature reserve in Austria.
