The village has good amenities with a toboggan run, skating rink, bowling alley, sports centre, swimming pool and fitness rooms. There are a few restaurants and cafs. Night life is enjoyable, but not exactly wild, with Tyrolean evenings and tea-dances. Families will enjoy this resort.

Because of its superb setting, this is a great area for summer holidays, with many walking and cycling trails and boating on the lake.

To get the most from the skiing a car is pretty much essential.

The lift pass for the Achensee area costs 126 euro.

Access: Easy to reach with no likelihood of snow closures, take exit 39 from the A12 motorway from Innsbruck to Munich (85 miles) and Salzburg (97 miles). It's only 62 miles from Munich on the scenic route via Bad Wiessee, a good road open except in the most severe conditions.
