What's on at Lake Achensee

The snowy landscape of the Falzthurntal valley offers many outdoor winter activities.

Until 16 March 2025, the winter shuttle offers a convenient and comfortable journey from Pertisau to the Karwendel Nature Park.

Two skiers enjoy a day of skiing in brilliant sunshine in the Hochalmlifte Christlum ski area in Achenkirch am Achensee.

Explore the ski areas, enjoy cross-country skiing or tobogganing, but watch out for icy conditions due to temperature changes.

The Achensee boat glides across the lake. Snow-covered Pertisau am Achensee in the background.

During the winter months, Achensee boat trips are available from Thursday to Sunday, and the restaurant is open for guests to enjoy.
