Visit Grosser Ahornboden in Autumn
lotharlerch Says: One of the easiest ways to enjoy the Karwendel area is a visit of the Grosser Ahornboden. This is a wide valley with hundreds of Alpine Maple trees. It is by far the biggest habitat of them in the whole Alps. the trees have a very specific character quite different from the...
alyf1961 Says: The lake at Achensee is beautiful. The water is clear and sits between luscious green mountains.
Bob_Shan Says: Christlum is the largest ski resort in Achensee area. about 950-1800m high.In 2006, due to the unexpected warm winter and lack of snow, only a part of the slopes are open to skiers. 29 EUR for a one day ski pass.At the entrance of Christlum express (the ski lift), there is a...
lotharlerch Says: This nice walk at the western banks of the lake stretches over more than half the length of the lake. There is no road at this side, only a nice and well kept path. From Gaisalm, a Gasthaus on a small peninsula you can take the boat back to Pertisau.See the travelogue for...

Bob_Shan Says: Big and very comfortable apartment, with good cooking facility. Close to the Christlum main ski slopes. Free shuttle bus with bus station in front of the building.

lotharlerch Says: The most attractive way to reach the Achensee in Summer (and late spring and early autumn) is the rack railway climbing the 400 meters difference in level from Jenbach (35 km east of Innsbruck) right to the lake. This railway is still using the original steam locomotives...
Perfectly clean but mostly very cold
lotharlerch Says: The Achensee water is very clean - you can drink it, but most of the time, even in Summer, far too cold to swim in it. Only in very warm summers you may try to swim in it.

A wide range of sports activities
lotharlerch Says: The lake is the centre of a region which offers all the year round plenty of opportunities for sportive activities. The water sports are mainly limited to sailing and windsurfing because the water temperature allows enjoyable swimming only for rather short periods in very...
