Nature takes centre stage!

Autumn holidays at Lake Achensee

Leave the stresses of everyday life behind and escape to the tranquility of Lake Achensee in autumn. Nature shines in amber and golden colours, and the views from the surrounding mountains of the Karwendel and Rofan are incredibly clear. The region offers a huge variety of outdoor sporting activities, such as hiking, climbing, mountain biking, and golfing. Those seeking relaxation and regeneration will find plenty of wellness options, such as massages, sauna bathing, and yoga. Family holidays in the region in October are just as versatile as the autumn colours. During the autumn holidays, a special programme for children awaits: bread making, pony riding, and much more.

Playing outside

Beautifully nestled between the Rofan and Karwendel mountains, the region around Lake Achensee is an ideal destination for all kinds of outdoor sporting activities in autumn. Find your calm on a leisurely walk in the valley, or climb the peaks and be rewarded with spectacular clear views that are unique in autumn.

Wellness world Achensee

After an active day outdoors, it’s wonderful to replenish indoors. Or maybe you fancy an indulgent spa break? Wellness is one of the region’s main attractions. From exquisite massages and Far Eastern relaxation techniques to an art nouveau swimming hall, spa suites, and wellness on the alpine pasture: The wellness options at Lake Achensee deserve a round of applause. Some hotels also offer day spa experiences, and in the leisure centre Atoll Achensee you can relax in the panorama pool, the spacious penthouse SPA, or in the fun and outdoor pools. The star ingredient in most of the treatments is Tiroler Steinöl® (shale oil), which is mined locally and processed in skincare products.

Tirolean delicacies meet haute cuisine

Autumn is a time for indulgence, and if you're looking to combine vibrant outdoor adventures with culinary delights, Lake Achensee is the perfect destination. Food lovers can indulge in both exquisite gourmet cuisine and traditional Tirolean dishes. In the mountain huts, hearty delicacies are sure to tantalize your taste buds. Chefs in the Achensee region use the finest ingredients, produced and sourced locally. Lake Achensee is also home to “Whisky Alpin” and a unique gin. If you need to quench your thirst, Achenseebier, brewed with spring water from the Karwendel mountain range, is an excellent choice.
