Water sports
With a length of more than nine kilometres, Lake Achensee is the largest lake in Tyrol. Due to its unique topographical location, the lake offers excellent water and wind conditions for water sports of all kinds.
Climbing
One lake, 5 places and lots of climbing!
High above Lake Achensee, the Rofan Mountains offer a plateau on which some of Tyrol’s best climbing areas have established themselves. The area is fantastically beautiful and leaves impressions far beyond climbing.
Paragliding
Lake Achensee, surrounded by the Karwendel and Rofan mountains, is one of the most beautiful and best flying areas in Austria. Tirol’s Sport & Vital Park is a perfect destination for paragliding all year round.
Achensee Golf Club
The miniature golf course in Maurach with various obstacles at its courses is waiting for unerring “golfers”. A children’s playground, pool table, table football and darts alternate the offer. (open daily)
On the minigolf course in Pertisau you dive into the world of a mountain farming village. Twelve holes and various stroke shoes provide fun and variety for young and old. (open from Tuesday to Sunday from 11.30 to 20.00)
Achensee Adventure Park
In addition to a spectacular high ropes course, the Achensee Adventure Park in Tyrol offers a colourful and extensive spectrum of challenging but also “gentle” outdoor activities for all ages throughout the year.
Wusel-Seeweg
The lakeside path between Maurach and Achenkirch presents itself with a new highlight for the whole family. The Wusel-Seeweg, which consists of several game stations, does not let boredom arise and is even rewarded with a complete ascent.
