Hiking vacation at Lake Achensee

A hiking vacation in Tyrol is undoubtedly one of the most popular vacation activities in all of Europe. Not only because hiking in the fresh mountain air promotes health and fitness, but also because Tyrol’s breathtaking natural beauty treats the eyes to an abundance of splendor.

Through magnificent, healthy forests, across green alpine meadows, past towering mountain ranges, along rushing waterfalls and crystal-clear mountain lakes—the region around Lake Achensee enchants with its fairy-tale natural beauty and idyllic charm. On approximately 500 kilometers of marked hiking trails, ambitious hiking enthusiasts and leisurely hobby hikers alike can expect fascinating natural sights and breathtaking panoramic views.

A hiking vacation at Lake Achensee is particularly appealing thanks to the wide variety of hiking trails and mountain tours. The options range from easy walking routes and leisurely family hikes for all ages to challenging trails for adventurous mountaineers. Quaint alpine huts and inns along all the trails invite you to stop and recharge with homemade specialties before continuing on your way. The Tyrolean Mountain Trail Seal of Quality ensures that vacationers can rely on the quality and safety of the marked hiking trails. For example, hiking trails that stand out for their rural beauty, rare plants, or exceptional views receive special recognition. At Lake Achensee, three trails bear the title “Tyrolean Mountain Trail with Distinction”: namely the Kaisersteg in Achenkirch, the Enzianweg in Maurach, and the Lamsenspitze in Pertisau.

Experienced hikers can put their skills to the test on the seven-hour Mondscheinspitze hike, which covers 12 kilometers and involves a 937-meter climb. However, those who prefer to take it a bit easier on their hiking vacation will find the route to the Seekaralm ideal, as it starts right on Lake Achensee in Achenkirch. The gorge hikes around Lake Achensee have also gained fame. Particularly noteworthy is a hike along the narrow Wolfsklamm, which leads from Stans in the Inn Valley to St. Georgenburg Abbey. But the Tiefenbachklamm and the Kaiserklamm, both of which are traversed by the Brandenberger Ache, are sure to delight all hiking enthusiasts. By the way, various hiking routes in the Achensee region can be easily reached by cable car. But: Of course, you don’t have to explore the magnificent mountain scenery around Lake Achensee on your own if you don’t want to.
