Pertisau Holidays

Set on the Tyrol's largest and prettiest lake

Beautifully situated on the scenic western shores of Lake Achensee, the largest and deepest lake in the Tyrol, Pertisau is known for its striking emerald waters, framed by the picturesque Karwendel and majestic Rofan mountain ranges. Popular day time activities include boat trips across the lake or exploring the lake shore villages by bike or the famous Achensee steam railway. As well as many easy promenade strolls around the lake, there is also extensive hiking above the village and an abundance of wildlife in what is Tyrol's largest nature reserve. A compact and tranquil village, Pertisau has a handful shops, cafés and restaurants, and there is regular live music and folklore entertainment at hotels and local alms throughout the summer.

Combine your stay here with 3, 4 or 7 nights in another resort in Austria. We recommend Alpbach.

Pertisau Tour - Get a local insight into the village including its historical past, present attractions and amenities - plus its quirks and peculiarities.

Wolfsklamm Gorge & St Georgenberg Monastery - The trail path takes you across wooden bridges, up and along magnificent cliffs, taking in thundering waterfalls to reach the gorge and a little further to the pilgrimage site. Inghams rep says:

Join me on an exciting day out to the unique and natural wonder of the Wolfsklamm Gorge and visit the beautiful St. Georgenberg Monastery. The path across bridges and up along the magnificent sharp cliffs, taking in thundering waterfalls and emerald green plunge pools, allows you to admire this majestic gorge from all angles. Once we reach the top, a further short walk takes us to the pilgrimage site of St Georgenberg. The walk takes approx. 1hr 30 mins and there are 324 steps up through the gorge.

St.Notburga Trail -Join the trail along the forest valley and enjoy the superb views of the Achensee. The trail finishes at the Rodelhutte where you can get a well-earned drink. Inghams rep says:

Join me on a historical trail walk in Pertisau. St Notburga was an Austrian saint from modern Tirol. She is the patron saint of servants and peasants. The new trail was officially opened and consecrated by Father Heinz Kleinlechner on October 5, 2008. The trail's name "Dien-Mut-Weg" comes from Old High German and means "Courage to Serve" and was chosen in remembrance of Saint Notburga, the patroness of servants and peasants.
The beautiful trail offers superb views and has little elevation change, there are several benches along the way offering a nice opportunity to rest and observe nature. We stop at each contemplation point during the trail. Join me to learn more about this fascinating patron of Tirol.
