ACHENSEE – THE TIROL‘S SPORTS AND VITALITY PARK
ÖTZTAL TOURISM
THE ACHENSEE LAKE - THE FJORD OF THE ALPS.
5 scenic villages (Achenkirch, Maurach, Pertisau, Steinberg and Wiesing) surround the
crystal clear water of the lake, set amidst the magnificent Karwendel and Rofan mountain
ranges. Sporting activities, spas in top-class hotels and restaurants - it’s paradise in and
around the Tirol‘s largest lake. Cycling or mountain biking, surfing or sailing, hiking or
running, paragliding or kite-flying, swimming or diving, golfing, riding or tennis: the Tirol‘s
Sports and Vitality Park makes each and every sport fun.
ÖTZTAL.THE PEAK OF TIROL
Winter – enjoy almost 300 kilometres of incredible ski slopes in the winter sports resorts of
Oetz, Sölden and Obergurgl-Hochgurgl. Few other valleys can compare with Ötztal’s inspiring scenic beauty and awesome snow conditions, there are plenty of things to do in winter
including skiing in stunning alpine terrain, hiking through the glittering winter wonderland
and relaxing at the unique Aqua-Dome spa in Längenfeld. Summer – enjoy a glittering glacier experience and fill your lungs with pure mountain air. Scenic hiking trails take you
through some of the most beautiful wilderness of the Ötztal Alps and to quaint mountain
huts where you can enjoy good food and warm hospitality.
THE FAMOUS ACHENSEE RACK RAILWAY
For more than 119 years the train has wound its way up from the valley to the Achensee – approx. 7 km and an altitude difference of 440 m. This rack railway is the oldest of its kind in
Europe. And, once at the lake, one of the Achensee ships awaits visitors for a round tour.
PROUD TO PRESENT TIROLEAN ROCK OIL
„Tiroler Steinöl“ has been well known for many years with its wide range of cosmetic products. This natural product is reclaimed from plant and animal life. The museum provides information on the over 100-year-old mine and its products. Spa hotels in the region use it for
various treatments.
