Pertisau: Achensee
Pertisau combines lakeside calm with the rugged relief of the Karwendel in a way that reflects its position on the western shore of Achensee. The settlement lies beside Tyrol’s largest lake, whose long, narrow waters run between the Karwendel to the west and the Rofan mountains to the east. Forested lower slopes and pale limestone walls give the shore a strongly Alpine character, while hotels, boathouses and waterfront paths mark Pertisau as an established holiday resort. The Achensee Railway, opened in 1889, links Jenbach with Seespitz at the lake’s southern end, and passenger boats connect the principal lakeside settlements. Pertisau is a compact base for walking, cycling and water-based outings in Tyrol.

Pertisau combines the calm of Achensee’s western shore with the rugged presence of the Karwendel mountains in a way that reflects its position between lake and alpine range. Set at the head of the Achental valley, it is closely tied to Achensee, Tyrol’s largest lake. The water and surrounding slopes shape a landscape used for sailing, walking and mountain excursions in every season. Pertisau also preserves a local industrial tradition at the Tiroler Steinöl Vitalberg, where the region’s long history of extracting shale oil is documented. The village is a practical base for exploring the Karwendel’s marked paths and the lakeside. Discover further points of interest via webcams positioned throughout Tyrol.

Tyrol combines an energetic alpine identity with an established urban culture in a way that reflects its position within the central Eastern Alps. Innsbruck, the regional capital on the River Inn, lies beneath the Nordkette range and brings imperial-era architecture into close contact with high mountain terrain. Its Golden Roof remains one of the city’s best-known historic landmarks, while the surrounding valleys connect settlements, ski areas and hiking country across the region.

Austria stretches from the Bohemian Massif along its northern edge to the Carnic Alps on the Italian border, encompassing high Alpine ranges and the Danube lowlands. The Danube links cities including Linz and Vienna, while the Grossglockner, at 3,798 metres, is the country’s highest mountain. Vienna developed for centuries as the seat of the Habsburg court, leaving imperial architecture around the Hofburg and Schönbrunn Palace. Salzburg is closely associated with Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, who was born there in 1756. Alpine Tyrol, wine-growing areas east of Vienna and the lakes of Salzkammergut add markedly different regional identities.
