Overview of current activities at Lake Achensee
The region's golf courses

Cycling & (e-)biking
Whether you're a leisure cyclist or an ambitious mountain biker, there's something magical about the awakening landscape nestled between the mountains and the lake. Enjoy the bike trails in the valley until the mountain bike trails officially open, depending on snow conditions.
Spring hiking
Spring in the Achensee region offers ideal conditions for long hikes, especially at lower altitudes. Come witness the landscape around Tirol’s largest lake as it transforms. Tip: The Achensee hiking programme kicks off in May, running every Monday to Friday.
Wellness at Lake Achensee
Start with a hearty breakfast, enjoy an active spring day at Lake Achensee, and then unwind in the spa with a range of wellness treatments. Discover the local secret to relaxation: Tiroler Steinöl® (shale oil), a traditional natural remedy extracted right here in the region.
Tennis, squash & padel courts
Spend a wonderful day staying active: whether it’s tennis, squash, or padel - nearly every option is available to you at Lake Achensee. The new padel court has been open since April, and the region’s tennis courts are now ready for play as well.
Via ferratas at Lake Achensee
Maintenance work for the new season is in full swing. Accessible climbing areas have been prepared, but the via ferratas require a little more patience. In places, steel cables are still buried in snow, and snow patches may affect the routes used for approaching and descending.
