Description
When the lights around Lake Achensee come on, the Advent season begins, and the Karwendel Mountains reveal their impressive winter scenery, a particularly festive time gets underway at Lake Achensee.
Relax Through the Advent Season
With our Christmas route, we connect the idyllic towns of Pertisau and Scholastika with the small, charming Christmas markets on the shores of Lake Achensee.
Away from the hustle and bustle, enjoy leisurely cruises across the lake and experience the Advent season from its peaceful and delightful side—perfect for unwinding and savoring the moment during this often hectic time of year.
What to expect:
• relaxing moments to savor
• mulled wine, delicious hot beverages, and homemade snacks on board
• Packages available for advance booking
• relaxing cruises without stress or the hassle of finding parking (bus parking in Achenkirch/Scholastika has limited availability due to renovations)
• Atmospheric & cozy Christmas markets at the Fischergut Pertisau & Landweihancht Kräuterhüttl Scholastika, as well as the Tyrolean Mountain Christmas in the centuries-old barn of the Sixenhof in Achenkirch (Admission at the Sixenhof; approx. 10-minute walk)
