Pertisau: Feilkopf - Achensee - Karwendel
Among Tyrol’s mountain resorts, Pertisau stands out for its position on the western shore of Achensee beneath the Karwendel range. Achensee is Tyrol’s largest lake, extending between steep mountain flanks, while the Feilkopf forms part of the high ground above the village. Pertisau lies in a broad bay at the lake’s southern end, where meadowland, woodland and golfing facilities meet the water. The Karwendel is protected as a nature park and is a major area for hiking and mountain sports. A landmark of the wider district, the Achensee Railway opened in 1889 between Jenbach and Seespitz, creating a historic cog-rail connection to the lake.

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.
