ACTIVITIES IN THE ACHENTAL

The Achental has something for everyone!

Throughout the year, discover the valley from countless different vantage points whilst doing lots of different activities: enjoy the frog’s eye view of the high peaks from a rafting boat, discover places of absolute silence whilst hiking, and let the wind blow around your ears whilst cycling.

Focus on yourself and the wall whilst climbing. Share the fantastic view with numerous birds whilst gliding. Get to know the four-legged animals in summer, but in winter, you’ll only see little more than hidden footprints in the glittering snow.

No day is like any other in the Achental valley. All you have to do is get out and exercise. It doesn’t matter at what speed.

Discover the Achental valley and its picturesque villages of Unterwössen, Marquartstein, Schleching as well as Staudach-Egerndach and become at one with nature.

Let’s inspire you!
