Walchsee: Discover the Lake, Moorland and Trails

Walchsee combines a diverse lake experience with special opportunities to enjoy nature and stay active. Lake Walchsee covers 100 hectares and reaches water temperatures of up to 24°C during the summer months. At the Walchsee lakeside promenade, you can rent boats and stand-up paddleboards. Anyone planning a holiday with varied daily routines can incorporate active excursions, nature observation and time by the water into their travel plans.

Lake and moorland as defining landscapes

Another distinctive natural area is the Schwemm. It has been designated a Natura 2000 site since 2003 and, covering 65 hectares, is the largest contiguous moorland area in North Tyrol. In addition to the lake, this offers a completely different landscape experience for your trip. During a guided tour of the Schwemm moorland, experts accompany participants. This is an opportunity to explore the natural area not only independently, but also as part of a professionally guided tour.

Trails for different holiday days

The trails also come in different formats. The 4th Schwemm loop is a moderately difficult 9.26 km route for running and Nordic walking. Anyone looking for a clearly described route with a defined length and difficulty can take these details into account when planning their day. The Seeloipe trail runs partly along the shore of Lake Walchsee, giving it a different focus. The starting point for the Four Elements Trail is on the Kalvarienweg behind the “Das Walchsee” hotel.

Another starting point is the Hochbergrunde loop, which begins at the bus stop in Durchholzen. The starting points mentioned are therefore located at different landmarks.

Water, play and action

At Lake Walchsee, the Wibit Aqua Fun Park offers an 800 m² area on the water. There is also the “Zahmer Kaiser” trampoline park in Walchsee. Covering more than 2,000 m², it offers various action and play areas for children, teenagers and adults. This makes it possible to take different interests into account when planning a family holiday: while a day at the lake focuses on water, the trampoline park provides its own emphasis on movement and play. The attractions can be included independently in your holiday plans.

For additional orientation on site, the Kaiserwinkl Tourist Information Office in Walchsee has an information pillar in the foyer. The Zahmer Kaiser Ski School is located directly at the Amber lift, making it another specific landmark for your planning.

Which holiday apartment suits your travel plans?

Choosing accommodation in Walchsee depends above all on which aspects you want to focus on. Water enthusiasts will pay attention to the facilities at the lakeside promenade, while hiking and walking enthusiasts can compare the various routes and their starting points. For families with children and teenagers, switching between the lake, a moorland tour and play activities can be appealing.
