summer between
mountain
and lake
When the mountains
feel like it wake up sea.
Oh how we love summer! It's the time of a thousand possibilities. A day at the lake. Swimming, diving, kiting, surfing or just lazily enjoying the Dolce Vita with an Aperol Sprizz on the shore of Lake Achensee or on our SonnenterraSEE until the sun disappears behind the mountains.

From the oldest cogwheel steam train in Europe directly to the Achensee ship
A touch of nostalgia
Tourism on Lake Achensee began with the age of the Achensee steam cog railway and Achensee shipping, and that was a long time ago. For 125 years, since 1889 to be precise, it has been clawing its way up the mountain, snorting and hissing. From Jenbach in the Inn Valley to Lake Achensee, it climbs 440 meters in altitude over almost seven kilometers: The Achensee Steam Cog Railway is the oldest of its kind in Europe and is still in tireless use.
Achensee shipping
When she has reached the top and is panting and pausing at the lake, a steamer operated by the Achenseeschifffahrt is already waiting, with which guests can continue the eventful panoramic journey straight away. The timetables are coordinated.
