The Lake in Winter

For active foodies: In the 5-star Achensee cross-country skiing region, you can choose your favorite trail from one of Austria’s largest and best-maintained networks of trails. Glide effortlessly along more than 210 kilometers, into the winter-sleeping Karwendel valleys or along the deep-blue shores of Lake Achensee.

While the region has excellent snow conditions, nearly 40 kilometers of trails can be covered with artificial snow, ensuring a great cross-country skiing experience even in warmer temperatures. Beginners will find trails here just as easily as experts and seasoned skiers. Skating enthusiasts and Nordic Cruisers will also find their favorite trails here. Speaking of Nordic cruising: wider and shorter skis are used here. This variation of cross-country skiing is modeled after the natural walking motion; the diagonal stride is easy to learn and fun.
 

Perfectly groomed slopes, well-maintained runs, and cozy huts for a hearty break—skiers and snowboarders will find their paradise around the Alpenrose. Three mountain railways and around 30 cable cars and lifts provide access to 50 kilometers of slopes. Waiting times at the lifts are a thing of the past. And even the youngest ski enthusiasts will find their ideal ski area, as there are numerous children’s lifts and practice slopes for our little guests. And of course, at the Alpenrose, we offer our special perk at no extra charge: free equipment rental.
