Sunrise walk & mountain breakfast!

Sunrise tour to the Astenau Alpe

Looking for a great way to start the day? Everyone has their own morning routine, but sometimes it's hard to get going. How about a mountain tour to kick-start your day? We recommend the sunrise hike to the Astenau Alpe (1,483m) in the stunning Rofan mountains.

With your gear packed and headlamp on, you'll set off early in the morning. The trail starts in Eben am Achensee and winds up a steep path, offering gorgeous views of the Tirolean Inntal valley as you make your way through the trees. At the top, you’ll be greeted by the breathtaking sight of the sun slowly rising, casting a warm golden glow over the landscape. This awe-inspiring moment will leave you feeling happy, refreshed, and probably quite hungry. Then it’s time for a hearty mountain breakfast at the Astenau Alpe (1,483m), where you’ll be treated to panoramic views of the Karwendel, the Kaiser mountains, the Zillertal Alps, the Stubai Glacier, and the Inntal valley.

The guided Sunrise tour to the Astenau Alpe have come to an end. We hope you had a wonderful and memorable time in the Achensee region.

The new dates 2025 will be published online soon.
