Description

With its deep blue waters and majestic mountain backdrop, the lake often resembles a Norwegian fjord. The villages of Achenkirch, Maurach, and Pertisau line its shores. With its favourable wind conditions, Lake Achensee attracts those interested in sailing, kiteboarding, and windsurfing, while the Achenseeschifffahrt offers tranquil boat cruises to take in the breathtaking scenery. The excellent water quality and visibility of up to 10 metres underwater make this glacial lake a natural attraction and a popular swimming spot.
