- Brilliant all-rounder for families, walkers, and avid hikers
- Lakeside paths, summit ascents, and enchanting forest valleys
With hikes and strolls across Austria's wider Lake Achensee region, walking holidays in Pertisau suit everyone - from families to summit-chasers.
Sitting between Lake Achensee, the Karwendel and Rofan mountains, and three lush forested valleys, Pertisau has no shortage of fantastic sights to explore - whether you’re seeking peaceful promenades or rocky ridges.
Families can walk the popular lakeside path from Pertisau to Gaisalm with yummy gelato stops and plenty of cool splash spots, while experienced walkers can push to the nearly 2,000m Bärenkopf summit for the only vantage point from which you can see the entire lake.

How to get around Pertisau
How our self-guided Pertisau walking holidays work:
Our self-guided trips let you set your own pace, from the length of your stay, to how far you walk each day. But if you’re used to group or guided holidays, you might be wondering how you’ll get around? Well, it’s easy…
Getting to and around town:
Your airport transfer is included with your trip. Once there, you'll find you can step straight outside and into nature - with plenty of easy loops and lake trails running straight from the village centre.
Getting to your walks and hikes:
Don't sweat reaching the peaks here. Two cable cars - Karwendelbahn and Rofanbahn - open up high-altitude trail networks - no effort required!
Local buses also connect Maurach, Achenkirch, and Steinberg (free with your Summer Card), or trade road for water on the Achensee boat, providing an easy, scenic way to reach the lake villages.
