Wiesenhof – your family hotel at Lake Achensee
Ent(n)er family bliss
Do you know that feeling? The little ones want action, the grown-ups crave relaxation, and grandma and grandpa are just happy that everyone’s finally together again. Here at Lake Achensee, everyone finds exactly what they need. And the best part: you don’t have to juggle three different schedules. At Wiesenhof, you’ll find everything you could wish for from a true family hotel at Lake Achensee – all together, whether you’re 7 or 77.
Hiking with children
The mountains around Lake Achensee are simply stunning. And what do you look for when exploring them with kids? Short routes, interesting destinations. The Achensee Nature Adventure Path takes just about an hour and offers plenty to marvel at. The hike to the Gernalm hut is easily manageable for the whole family – and their Kaiserschmarrn pancake is legendary. For the very little ones: there are plenty of stroller-friendly trails around our family hotel in Tyrol, too.
Our Wiesenhof tip: set off early from our family hotel in Austria so you still have time for the lake in the afternoon. Or the pool. Or whatever you fancy.
Splashing fun around our family hotel in Tyrol
The pleasantly warm family pool is an absolute favourite among big and small swimmers alike. You can enjoy the fully glazed bathhouse, while sunseekers stretch out on the lawn. Everyone finds their perfect spot here – for napping, cuddling, recharging, or gearing up for the next dive into the cool water.
Lake Achensee itself is perfect for families: there are shallow shore areas for splashing around, swimming jetties for the brave, and, of course, pedal boats to hire for joint excursions. In summer, the water temperature sits at around 20°C – just fantastic on those hot summer days!
What is it like to stay at our family-friendly hotel in Austria?
- Family rooms with space for everyone: that’s what makes a good family hotel at Lake Achensee
- Extra beds for the little ones
- And if you’re travelling with Grandma, Grandpa, and Aunt Karin, you need more space. Some rooms can therefore be wonderfully combined for large families.
In the restaurant, there’s room for the whole family at one table. After all, holidays are best enjoyed together.
It’s raining.
Emil would say: “Ah, finally!” After all, there are such cool things to do around your favourite family hotel in Austria in rainy weather. Must-sees:
- The shale oil museum in Pertisau
- The Sixenhof local history museum in Achenkirch
- A train journey on the Achensee railway
- A boat trip on Lake Achensee
- The Swarovski Crystal Worlds in Wattens
- The silver mine in Schwaz
- Tratzberg Castle
You want more? Have a look here.
You prefer to stay at the hotel? That works too, of course. We’ve got board games. And a library, too. There’s loads of space in the large hall with open fireplace. Order a hot chocolate, have some cake, put your smartphone away, and let the game start.
In short: it can be at least as cosy inside as it is exciting outside.
Emil nods approvingly: “I told you, rain is simply underestimated!”
In Pertisau, you’ll find doctors with a pharmacy, and right around Wiesenhof you’ll find a mini shop with the essentials.
But there’s more:
- Children’s rates: children up to 1 year of age stay free of charge, then for €7.00 per year of age/day in a room with their parents (with two full-paying adults).
- The Wiesenhof kids’ play area: nature you can touch in indoor format – lovingly designed, simply makes you feel at home
- From the beginning of July to the beginning of September, your kids can participate in the region’s children and youth programme (4 to 16 years)
- So that everyone sleeps well: on request, we can provide extra beds or cots directly in the room. For the little ones, there are cosy cots with matching bed linen – snug, safe, and stress-free.
- Highchairs await little gourmets in the restaurant, and we’re happy to provide a changing mat in the room. This makes every meal and every nappy-changing moment a little more comfortable.
- Travelling light? No problem! On request, we offer bottle warmers, kettles, nappy bins, potties, baby baths, buggies, and plastic-free children’s tableware. This makes it just as easy to prepare porridge and bottles as at home.
- Adventure outside, safety inside: for the slightly older kids, children’s bikes and helmets are available to hire from the expert shops nearby. Little cyclists can then explore the region around Lake Achensee on two wheels, with mum and dad riding behind them, perfectly relaxed.

It’s snowing!
Our family hotel at Lake Achensee transforms completely. Overnight, green meadows turn into a white fairy-tale landscape. Ice crystals glisten on Lake Achensee and the mountain peaks are covered in icing sugar. Emil waddles through the first snow and is happy.
Suddenly, the world smells different. It smells of cold, quiet, adventure. Our family-friendly hotel in Austria knows: the most magical time of the year is about to start.
What happens now: your rooms will be cosy, snug places with a view of the winter wonderland. The sauna steams more warmly as the world outside grows colder. Snowshoes replace hiking boots. Toboggans wait right outside the hotel doors.
Wiesenhof, your family hotel at Lake Achensee, is in winter mode: hot chocolate instead of cold drinks. Relaxing in front of the fireplace instead of on the terrace. But the warm hospitality remains the same. And finally it’s time to build a snowman!
Karwendel ski area for families
- Ski courses and a ski school right on the beginner’s slope – just opposite Wiesenhof. The Bobo Kids’ Club welcomes all children from the age of three, turning first slides into real skiing fun. Small successes, big smiles: that’s how you learn to ski.
- The cross-country trail starts right in front of Wiesenhof. With over 200 kilometres of groomed trails in the Achensee region, kids can try this sport out while parents loop the tracks. Everyone in the same snow, at their own pace. And for guests who like to bring their four-legged companions, there’s even a dedicated dog trail.
The best seasons
Summer is the season of lake moments, long days, and lots of action. Autumn is more relaxed, less hustle and bustle, beautiful colours, pleasant temperatures. Winter around your family hotel at Lake Achensee is incredibly attractive and varied with snow, skiing, and cosy evenings. And what about spring? When everything slowly turns green around the lake and on the mountains, the days get longer, nature awakens around our hotel and farm: simply beautiful!
For teens
While the little ones play and the adults relax in the spa, teens will find plenty to keep them busy, too. Play a game of pool, a round of indoor hockey, or just chill out – at Wiesenhof, boredom doesn’t stand a chance. Of course we also have Wi-Fi, but who knows, maybe the mobile phone will be put aside for a moment. For a rematch at the pool table, for example.
Family events and anniversaries
Grandma’s 80th birthday, a wedding anniversary, or simply a get-together? Wiesenhof is perfect for family celebrations with the whole family. From grandchildren to grandparents, everyone finds something they love. You celebrate together, eat together, but everyone can have their own programme. Just the way it has to be for large families. Simply get in touch with us and we’ll plan your party together with you to make it unforgettable.
Work and travel: when the laptop is part of the luggage
Sometimes you just can’t switch off work completely. No problem. We offer super-fast Wi-Fi on request, plus a quiet workspace. While you check a few e-mails in the morning, the kids are already off to breakfast or playtime. In the afternoon, you’re all back together at the lake or in the mountains – the perfect mix of productive and relaxed. Work and travel at Wiesenhof means: you can work when you must, but your holiday is waiting right outside the door.

Emil winks: “Human families are like duck families – everyone swims at a different pace, but all in the same direction.”
