Description

Immerse yourself in one of the warmest bathing lakes in Tyrol. With water temperatures of up to 26°C in the summer months, the 100 ha Walchsee is a bathing paradise. The beautifully landscaped lakeside promenade with well-kept green areas and shallow lake access invites you to stroll and swim. Children will love the large water trampoline and the iceberg fixed in the lake. On the children's playground with pirate ship and fine sand, the little ones will experience great adventures.
The Ostufer bathing area has a beach bar, spacious sunbathing areas and a beach volleyball court. Unique is the 800 m² Wibit Aqua-Funpark with a boulder wall, trampoline, slides and blobbing.
There is also a section on the east bank for guests and their four-legged friends (dogs are only allowed into the water during this section).
