Mountain biking, mountains and the sea – you don’t have to fly halfway around the world or drive to Italy for this. Admittedly, our Tyrolean sea is not quite the ocean, but it is wonderfully clear and refreshing after a long day of mountain biking. Around Lake Achensee, you will find a selection of Tours that take you along forest and farm tracks far away from road traffic and into the Rofan and Karwendel mountains. You’ll discover beautiful huts, exciting trails with picture-perfect panoramas and a handful of relaxed trails.

The routes around the Achensee are well signposted. In this Collection, we would like to present a selection of the most popular Tours. Among them, you will find family-friendly Tours, which are even possible with a child trailer, as well as hut and summit Tours. With the exception of the Karwendel-Runde, all of the recommendations are easily doable in half a day.

Let yourself be inspired:
