Das Rieser
Florian Andergassen
Where the Karwendel and Rofan mountains meet, Lake Achensee nestles against the mountains - a vacation paradise for young and old, especially in the warmer months. Das Rieser, which is just a few steps away from the lake, is also run by generations for generations. The hotel is known for its perfect balance between active and wellness offers. Guests can work out every day with various courses. New fitness and exercise rooms with views of the forest are available for extended sports sessions. The hotel also has six tennis courts. Relaxation can be enjoyed not only on the shores of Lake Achensee, but also in the newly built adults-only SeeSpa with two outdoor pools, a sauna and a bathing pond. Infusion fans also get their money's worth in the indoor sauna area. Tip: A hammam treatment - afterwards you'll feel like a new person!

For 65 years, the hotel on Lake Achensee has been a place of energy that embodies pure joie de vivre, the highest quality and a perfect feel-good experience. Even though the facilities are ultra-modern, the ambience still exudes alpine charm with lots of warm wood. The penthouse suite with an exclusive roof terrace (including lake view) and the dreamlike garden villa for up to four people are particularly great. The extensive wellness program also caters to the needs of children. In the Culinarium, guests are treated to down-to-earth classics and international culinary delights in sophisticated combinations several times a day. In the unique Alpine Medical Care center, health-conscious guests are in the best expert hands - hypnosis and Ayurveda, among other things, are used here to ensure inner peace and serenity.
