Wonderful Wanders and Skiing from the Summit

Whether you arrive to the glittering surface of Lake Achensee at the height of the healing summer sun or in the hold of winter’s icy grip, Achenkirch still offers an incredible array of attractions. During the summer, guided hikes lead adventurers into the depths of the nearby Karwendel Nature Park in order to discover the healing herbs that flourish there and observe the flora and fauna that thrives in the region. Pristine beaches offer visitors a chance to rest and relax, which those seeking adrenaline can soar over the settled snow on over 27km of exhilarating ski slopes during the winter to enjoy panoramic mountain vistas, or take a remarkably romantic horse drawn sleigh ride across the frozen peaks.
