25 miles east of Innsbruck, amongst fairytale scenery on
the shores of Lake Achen, Maurach is a lovely little village with its own
small ski area. Together with the other lakeside villages of Achenkirch and
Pertisau there is 50 km of skiing, especially good for beginners and
second-timers. Cross country skiing is well-catered for, with 70 km of
beautiful trails.
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.
