Winter activities at Lake Achensee
- from the aja Fürstenhaus directly into the snow
When Lake Achensee glistens in white, the most beautiful time of the year begins. Countless possibilities await you on a winter holiday at Lake Achensee - always with the Tyrolean mountain backdrop in view.
Whether skiing and snowboarding in the Christlum ski area or in the nearby Zillertal, cross-country skiing on over 200 kilometres of groomed trails or on a quiet winter hike through the Karwendel - winter shows all its diversity here.
There's also plenty to do away from the pistes: ice skating, curling or snowkiting on the frozen lake provide unforgettable moments between snow and sun.
This is what winter enjoyment in Tyrol feels like - at Lake Achensee, of course.
