This is how we love winter: when the snow muffles every sound and the only sound you hear is the crunching of snow under your boots.
When the snow is white and fresh, the air is clear and the atmosphere is quiet for pure winter enjoyment. When every step through the deep, snow covered winter forest is relaxing, whether you’re walking in the Tristenau, the Falzthurn or the Gern valley.
The choices are many. 150 km of winter hiking trails await you. Achensee Lake can also mean being athletic in the winter. 200 km of trails for cross-country skiing and skating means that every day of vacation can mean a different tour through the wilderness of the Rofan and Karwendel Mountains, including looking for the tracks of rare animals.
Feeling the air on your skin and the movement of your body frees the mind and allows you to enjoy the winter nature. And all without the hustle and bustle of everyday life. The Achensee Lake region has 50 km of ski runs and about 30 lifts. It is ideal for everybody who wants to enjoy skiing in peace and quiet without any hype or would simply like to ride down the track on a sled. How about the sled run beneath Zwölferkopf Mountain? It guarantees 1.5 km of fast enjoyment!
But, if you would rather have romance instead of speed: You can glide through the winter wonderland in a horse-drawn sleigh, sometimes on the frozen lake, past white powdered forests and snow covered mountains. It’s ideal for declaring your love - also for Achensee Lake.
And then a beautiful change of scenery! Out of the cold and into the 60 degree heat of a Tyrolean sweat hut. Warm up and dream by the open fireplace in the spa oasis of the Travel Charm Fürstenhauses Am Achensee. Winter dreams come true.
