Your snowy winter getaway!

Plan your winter family holidays

Looking for family-friendly accommodations and winter activities for the whole family to enjoy? Lake Achensee is a stunning destination where every family member is guaranteed to spend fun-filled and relaxed winter holidays.

Family-friendly accommodations

The Achensee holiday region is a member of the "Tirol Family Nests" which offer top-quality recreational activities for families, including a summer programme for children and youngsters for a minimum of 10 weeks. “Family Nest” partner hotels meet the required criteria and are regularly inspected by experts, making them the perfect choice for families.

Kinderhotels in the Achensee region

Kinderhotels stand for fun, quality, comfort, and relaxation for the whole family. Member hotels must meet certain criteria which are constantly monitored. The mascot of the Kinderhotels is Smiley, therefore the category and standard of accommodations are rated with smileys instead of stars. Our two Kinderhotels at Lake Achensee boast 5 Smileys, which means that they offer top-quality services for families and excellent facilities.

Family-friendly ski areas

Lake Achensee offers variety for small and large skiers alike. The region’s ski areas boast 53 kilometres of slopes at altitudes of up to 1,900 metres accessed by several lifts. Wide slopes and great offers for skiing tots make Lake Achensee a popular choice for families.

Ski schools for children

The ski schools in the five holiday villages run courses for every ability level – from private lessons to weekly courses. Children learn how to ski in a fun and safe environment. After learning the basic turns on the practice slopes right in the village centre, it’s off to explore the region’s family-friendly ski areas.
