Moderate and challenging walks in the heart of Tyrol
Start Achenkirch. In the evening the leaders will hold a welcome meeting to discuss the week ahead and give advice on the local area.
Walking from the hotel, we pass through the village then start on a gently climbing forest road before a steeper path up through beautiful woods to reach the Moosenalm, a high pasture with wonderful views. We then contour round to the Christlum ski area looking down to Achenkirch & the lake before descending down and back to our hotel.13km, 600m ascent and descent. Max altitude 1530m
We take a short bus journey to Pertisau and then the Karwendel cable car to start our walk to Zwolferkops before ascending the Barenkopf (1991m). We descend on a different path via the Barenbaldalm where we stop for coffee & cake before descending by cable car to Pertisau and taking the ferry back to Achenkirch. 9km, 600m ascent and descent. Max altitude 1991m
Today we take a short bus journey to Maurach and then the Rofanlift cable car for a memorable ascent of the Rofanspitze (2258m), where we have a picnic lunch with panoramic views. We retrace our steps to the Rofanlift, before catching the steam train and ferry back to Achenkirch.* Update: Please note that the steam train is temporarily unavailable and will be replaced by a local bus. This is not affecting any COVID-security measures *8Km: 430m ascent and descent: max altitude 2258m
A free day to relax or enjoy optional activities.
We take the bus to Pertisau and walk up the Gerntal valley before taking a steep footpath up to the Pasillsattel, with amazing views behind us. We cross behind the impressive peaks of Seebergspitze and Seekarspitze, stopping for refreshments at a rustic alm before our descent back to Achenkirch.15km, 820m ascent and descent, max altitude 1680m.
Today we take the bus to Maurach and then the cable car to the heart of the magnificent Rofan mountain range. Here we take the delightful Enzianweg path, stopping at the Dalfazalm for coffee & cake, before climbing steadily to a col at Steineres Tor (1978m).A long descent through a wild valley, via the Köglalm and down through the woods finishing right outside the hotel.15Km; 300m ascent; 1150m descent; max altitude 1978m

Our walks have been selected to make the most of the area. Each evening, our
leaders explain what level 3 and 5 walking is on offer for the next day so
you can choose which walk to join. This is the main advantage of a
multi-grade holiday, as friends with differing ability can travel together.At
both Moderate and Challenging levels there are steep ascents and descents
often over quite rocky and uneven terrain. Due to the nature of the terrain
on this trip, neither walking level is recommended for anyone suffering from
vertigo.Level 3 entails walking between 5 and 7 hours per day. The area we
are visiting is criss-crossed by a network of long established trails and
walking paths, most of them well maintained and way-marked. Even so, paths
will be rocky and on occasion exposed.Level 5 entails walking between 6 and 8
hours per day at an easy but steady pace. We will be using established trails
and mountain paths; these will often be steep, rocky and more exposed than
the level 3 walks.In Achenkirch, most days are around 6 hours of actual
walking for Level 3 and 7 hours for Level 5, and the level of ascent for
level 3 is up to 800m and level 5 usually 1,000m. Please note that when we
use lifts, the descent is usually greater than the ascent described.The exact
itinerary (and therefore the exact length of each walk) may vary depending on
weather conditions or other factors beyond our control. Whilst aiming to
always follow the routes described in these trip notes, it will be the
leader's decision to amend the itinerary if and when necessary. Early weeks
in June may need to be limited to lower level routes due to late-lying snow
conditions. However, this is an ideal time for abundant alpine flowers and,
as it is quieter, there is a good chance of seeing more wildlife.
Hotel Fischerwirt***The Hotel Fischerwirt opened its doors in 1875 as a traditional and
rustically furnished 3-star hotel. Directly located on the north shore of the
Achensee Lake the hotel offers easy access to a variety of trails. All rooms
are en suite, and double and twin rooms offer a balcony or deck with view of
the Karwendel mountain range or of the lake. Facilities include satellite TV,
telephone, sitting area, safe and hair dryer. All floors are served by a

areas. This excellent base offers a very warm welcome, nice rooms and a
lovely spa. Some single rooms as well as double rooms for single use are
available; please contact our Sales team for available and prices.

Airport transfers are carried out by private bus. Local transport is used on
most days to reach the start of the walks; as the "Achensee Holiday Card" is
included, we may use a mix of buses, ferries, cable cars or even steam train!
Please note that during the peak times of the summer season, transports can
get quite busy and this could potentially slightly delay our journeys to/from
the walks.

It is fair to say that the weather in the Alps can be changeable in summer,
and Austria is no exception. Temperatures during the day can be very warm,
especially in July and August, and the resulting humidity can cause some
spectacular storms in the late afternoon/early evening. Clear, fresh mountain
air in the Alps means that effects of the sun are often not noticed until
it's too late, so it is important to make sure that sun block and lip balm is
administered regularly. Given the depth of the valleys, it is also difficult
to predict when rain is on its way, so carrying waterproof clothing is also
to be advised.
Sturdy and comfortable walking boots (with good ankle support)Windproof

You may want to bring walking poles.
For meals not included, we suggest a budget around €8-12 per lunch. Of
course, as you are free to choose where to eat, you can choose to spend as
much as you like.There is the option to make up a basic picnic lunch,
comprising filled rolls and fruits, from the breakfast buffet for a modest
charge of 20 euro per week, collected by the leader and given to the hotel.
This may need to be supplemented by materials from the village
shop. Achenkirch has two supermarkets for food and general items and the
closest is about 1km away and is open daily, except Sundays. It takes about
10 minutes to walk. Please note that even non-prescription drugs, like
Paracetamol, are not available in supermarkets in Austria and it is better to
bring these with you from home.There is a pharmacy located at a doctor’s
surgery about 1.5 Km from the hotel. This has limited opening hours.There is,
however, a wider range of shopping and other facilities in both Maurach and
Pertisau, which are usually visited during the week.Optional ExcursionsThis
holiday includes the Achensee Holiday Card, which provides unlimited use of
local buses, mountain lifts, ships on the lake and a steam train – as well
as a number of entry benefits.There are a number of interesting places to
visit by public transport in the Inn Valley including: Innsbruck (the capital
of the Tyrol); Kufstein (with its fine castle) and Hall (with its mint tower
and salt mines).
Although optional, a tip for the leader at the end of the trip is greatly
appreciated. This is entirely at your own discretion. As a guideline we
recommend a contribution between €15 and €20 per client.
