Christmas magic by the lake!

Achenseeschifffahrt Seeweihnacht

During the Christmas season, the regular boat service on Lake Achensee transforms into a festive floating Advent market. The beautifully decorated ship glows with warm light, inviting you to enjoy, discover and marvel. On board, the atmosphere is truly magical. Lovingly decorated stalls offer an array of regional specialties and handcrafted goods. The “Seeweihnacht” Christmas cruises also connect several other enchanting markets on land. In Pertisau, you can explore the captivating Mountain Advent at the Fischergut, which features a variety of local crafts and culinary treats. The boat also stops at the Scholastika pier in Achenkirch, giving you time to visit two more markets: the Landweihnacht (Kräuterhüttl) and the Tirolean Mountain Christmas at the Sixenhof local history museum.
