Things to do in Pertisau
Lake cruises
All aboard. Sit back, relax, and enjoy the panorama of Lake Achensee from the deck. Leisurely cruises with open air seating take sightseeing to a whole new level. Even better, the Achenseeschifffahrt boat tours combine with the Achenseebahn railway, making a great transport network exploration excursion. You can easily visit popular areas around the lake by boat like Maurach Seespitz, or Gaisalm, the haven of tranquillity.
Lakeside lido
Enjoy a dip in the lake at the Strandbad Pertisau lido. Top up your tan on the sunbathing lawn or cool down your skin in the fresh mountain water. With all the relevant facilities, set up camp as you have everything you need for a full day of shoreside entertainment.
Wind and kitesurfing on Lake Achensee
Take on the waves of Lake Achensee as the wind whisks you up and down across the turquoise waters. Feel the thrill as you wind and kite surf. Due to the lakes positioning and surrounding mountains, its prone to light southerly wind conditions on the lake in the morning, making it the perfect place to skim and jump weightlessly over the water.
Cycling
Ride through the Falzturntal Valley along winding paths until you reach the Gramai Alm hut, perfect for a spot to eat before your seven-kilometre ride back to Pertisau. The Karwendel alpine park offers wide smooth paths down low, as well as rocky routes higher up – you may even need an e-bike to help with these more challenging incline routes.
18-hole golf course
Take to the green, bringing your putting skills from home all the way to the Alps. You can hire clubs, golf carts and trolleys on-site so all you need to do is bring your expertise. The breathtaking views and shining sun are a match made in heaven for any keen golfer.
Tennis
Visit the Sportcentre Pertisau for a game of tennis. You have access to four outdoor sand courts, and two indoor courts, meaning its often easy to snap one up for a game. Swing your racket and tally up the score as you battle to be the best.
Segway hire
Give your legs a rest and glide your way along the lakeside sidewalks and bike paths – letting off zero emissions. Tour the area in style, but remember, sturdy shoes are required, so leave the flip-flops back at the hotel for this one.
Paragliding
Soar above the pastel waters on the south side of Lake Achensee as your flight experience descends from the mountains. On your way down, look out for the other paragliders and hang-gliders as the area is renowned for its air sports. With two common starting points, will you choose the Karwendel zone on the left side, or the Rofan zone on the right?
Cog railway steam-train
Get a sense of history as you visit the 130-year old Achensee steam cog railway – the oldest of its kind in Europe. Puffing out steam, it makes its way from the station at Jenbach, up the mountain to Lake Achensee.
Langlaufstuberl brewery visit
Take a tour of the Achensee Bier brewery, where you'll view the large copper brewing chambers as you tour the most popular micro-brewery in the Tyrol. They also offer beer and cheese tasting experiences, with chance to dine in their own restaurant. Will you find your new favourite beer?
Museums
Wander through the Tyrolean stone oil Vitalberg, a unique adventure museum bringing together natural landscape and modern architecture. At the end, you can shop for hair care, skin care and body care products – made from naturally extracted local oils. Other traditional museums will keep you busy too.
Cultural evenings
Relax in the evenings with regular live music at hotels and local alms. During high season, you can also get involved with the traditional Tyrolean evenings – what's not to love about the local culture being expressed through music?
