Tyrol’s largest lake is nestled in the fascinating mountain world of the Karwendel and Rofan mountains. The picturesque lake is the centrepiece and the absolute eye-catcher of the region –
sometimes turquoise blue with gentle waves, then deep blue and stormy: a lake with character.

The turquoise-blue Achensee, nestled in the dreamlike mountain landscape of the Karwendel and Rofan mountains, is not known as the “Tyrolean Sea” for nothing. The largest lake in Tyrol is the “active region” par excellence with more than 50 different sports – from hiking and climbing to swimming, sailing and kite surfing – and is therefore a popular holiday destination for the whole family all year round. It is not for nothing that Lake Achensee is also called a “multi-generation holiday region”.
