Posthotel Achenkirch, Tyrol, Austria

Situated on the northern side of Lake Achensee, Achenkirch is a region of stunning natural beauty. Hike through the breathtaking Alpine landscape, cycle along scenic trails, or simply relax by the crystal-clear waters of the lake. In winter, experience the thrill of skiing or snowboarding on the nearby slopes of Karwendel and the Christlum ski resort. Discover charming villages like Pertisau and Maurach, each a playground for outdoor enthusiasts, hit the courts for a game of tennis, or work on your swing at the impressive Posthotel Alpine Golf Club. Since the hotel is also part of the largest private Lipizzaner stud farm in Europe, you could organise a ride through snow-covered forests and valleys, stopping only to take in the views and give your trusty steed a pat.

For those seeking a dose of culture, take a 60-minute drive to the city of Innsbruck. Here you’ll find beautiful churches, colourful streets housing local shops and restaurants, and the hilltop castle of Schloss Ambras Innsbruck.
