Holiday Ideas

Family holiday at Lake Achensee

A holiday by the sea in Tyrol lives up to its promise: Lake Achensee, Tyrol's largest lake, has a Caribbean shimmer and lies like a fjord between the Rofan and Karwendel mountains. Here you can swim, sail, surf and cycle - but also hike and climb. And what meets between mountain and water? That's right: nature, exercise and real family adventures.

We recommend it because:

  • after the mountain road towards Lake Achensee, an impressive backdrop awaits you on the high plateau, which you can enjoy in a relaxed manner in lidos, stand-up paddling, on a steamboat or from the mountain peak.
  • The lake and mountains offer a wide range of opportunities for relaxation and activity.
  • Families are well catered for: Themed hikes and attractions for children, a varied youth programme with climbing, torrent action, creative workshops and pump track as well as special experiences such as raft building, adventure day with alpacas, baking or star hikes for the little ones.

Mountain railways in this region

These two cable cars also transport guests up the mountain in summer. The Skyglider "AirRofan" is a particularly action-packed highlight on the Rofan. And the mountain station of the Karwendel mountain railway is an ideal starting point for hiking, mountain and mountain bike tours.
