Summer and autumn in Pertisau, Lake Achensee
Holidays in Tirol
Experience the crystal-clear waters and lush, green Alpine meadows of the Achensee region in full splendor during the warm months. Let yourself be captivated by the mountains and enjoy unforgettable days at Tirol’s largest lake.
Between the Mountains & the Lake
The Nature Park Karwendel and the peaks of the Rofan mountain range promise endless adventures. Alongside hiking, cycling, golf, and water sports, exciting trend sports have established themselves at Lake Achensee in recent years. If you’re keen to try something new, a wide variety of activities awaits: on the water, stand-up paddleboarding (SUP), wing foiling, and kitesurfing are all the rage. There is plenty of action on land, too – whether it’s padel tennis, the pump track, or trail running.
Hiking & Running
Lace up and get outside! Scenic walking, running, and trail running routes start right from the hotel. Explore between the mountains and the lake, stride through valleys, or climb high above for breathtaking views, summit victories, and the ultimate runner’s high.
Summer Cable cars
The cable cars at Lake Achensee get you up the mountain quickly and comfortably. In Maurach, the Rofan cable car whisks you straight into an alpine hiking area offering plenty of variety, both on and off the trails, thanks to the Skyglider AIRROFAN and the Adlerhorst viewing platform. In Pertisau, the Karwendel cable car carries you up to the Zwölferkopf. At the top, you are rewarded with a fantastic view over the lake and can set off on a hike to the Bärenkopf.

Perhaps the most beautiful green in the Alps: The Golfclub Achensee in Pertisau offers 18 challenging holes and panoramic views that will take your breath away. Plus, as our guests, you receive a 20% discount on greenfees. The golf course is open from May to the end of October, weather permitting.

Autumn Holidays at Achensee
