Sport and Vitality region Achensee

Five hundred years ago, the Austrian emperors had already identified the Achensee lake as a summer paradise. The region was a much-loved hunting ground for Emperor Maximilian and his court. The locals are deeply attached to "their" very own Achental valley and its unmatched beauty – they have maintained this Garden of Eden in the Alps to date.

The Pearl of Tyrol magically charms enthusiastic water sports lovers. The Achensee is 9 km long, 1km wide and 135 m deep and thereby the largest lake in Tyrol. The Achental valley entices you with its intact nature, idyllic villages and its Alpine lifestyle. 

At the Achensee, local Tyrolean customs and culture are upheld and practiced in everyday life with great pleasure. We receive visitors with warm hospitality and are proud to share with them the beauty of our Achental valley.

The Achensee - Tyrols most versatile holiday region 

Naturally, anyone staying at the Achensee would deprive themselves of modern pleasures such as exciting sport activities, rest, relaxation and endless comfort. You will enjoy every moment of your stay in the Hotel Post, located directly on the lake in Pertisau.

The Achental valley, Pertisau and the Achensee are often the subjects of breathtakingly beautiful pictures. We have put together a selection of the most beautiful photos taken from the Achensee Tourism Office, especially for you.
