Winter activities

What could feel better than leaving your tracks in the fresh new snow on a sunny winter’s holiday in Austria? Snow crunches under your feet with every step you take and thousands of ice crystals sparkle in the clear winter air.

With 150 kilometres of cleared winter hiking trails around Lake Achen, you can enjoy winter walks with the whole family. Who can make the best snow angel?

Snowshoeing:

Strap on your snowshoes and discover untouched winter landscapes off the beaten track. Get ready for a touch of adventure and unforgettable winter scenery. With a trained mountain guide as your companion, you will navigate the area safely and learn more about nature and life in the Achensee region.

Tobogganing and snow biking:

Test yourself and your toboggan on five natural runs around Lake Achen. The 1.5 to 3-kilometer toboggan runs are ideal for both young racers and relaxed family tobogganing. Great fun for the whole family.
The Achenkirch toboggan run is also right beside our hotel and can be accessed on foot. To make sure you haven’t used up all your energy by the time you get to the top, you can take the lift to the start of the run. In Pertisau, there is even a „toboggan express“ to help you up the hill. Each Wednesday evening, there is also an opportunity to experience the runs a little later with illuminated „night tobogganing“. An experience for children and parents alike!

Horse-drawn carriage ride:

A horse-drawn carriage ride through the magical snow-covered countryside is something special – and a perfect part of your winter holiday in Austria. A trip through the valley in bright sunshine and glittering snow is simply unforgettable. Enjoy the experience as a couple or with the whole family.

Winter riding:

Our stables with our good-natured Haflinger and Icelandic horses are open in winter. Discover what true freedom feels like on a horseback ride through the idyllic winter landscape. Book your riding lessons with us.
