2nd place: Where princes once resided, the Fürstenhaus am Achensee in Pertisau now combines historical details with modern design, creating an oasis of calm for all the senses.
Gorgeous spa time
A break from everyday life, soothing rituals and relaxation for body and soul are on offer at the PURIA Spa. On 3,000 square meters you can simply let your soul dangle. In the sauna area, you can simply sweat away the stress in the bio sauna, brine grotto with steam sauna, Tyrolean sweat room, Finnish sauna and panorama sauna, while the indoor-outdoor pool invites you to swim your morning laps in the 28°C warm water or simply let yourself drift away after an active day in the mountains. A shower under the "Tropical Rain" waterfall provides refreshment and a soothing body massage. Waterbeds, loungers and wicker chairs are available for relaxing. A wide range of offers such as massages and beauty treatments make the wellness experience even more lasting. The outdoor whirlpool gives you the feeling of floating above the lake, while an exclusive private spa suite offers romantic moments for couples in particular.
Fuerstlich dining
Culinary variety and healthy indulgence are top priorities at the Travel Charme Fürstenhaus am Achensee. In the Laurentius, the large window fronts and two sun terraces allow the spectacular landscape to become part of every meal. Fine wines from the hotel's own wine cellar are also served. Fresh fish from the mountain lake, tangy cheese from the mountain pasture, natural yoghurt from the farm just around the corner and fragrant bread from the organic bakery at the other end of the shore: the cuisine at the Fürstenhaus am Achensee takes guests on a culinary journey through the region. In the Laurentius restaurant, with its sweeping views of Lake Achensee and the mountains, Austrian specialties meet international trends: the kitchen team serves cuisine that is both cosmopolitan and traditional. The hotel bar with its free-standing round fireplace is the ideal place to reflect on the day with a cool drink.
Right active
Hikes or bike tours through the picturesque mountain world provide sporting challenges in harmony with nature. The Fürstenhaus provides e-bikes and e-mountain bikes for this purpose if required. With a club firmly in your grasp, head to the 18-hole golf course right on the shores of Lake Achensee. Water sports enthusiasts can opt for a sailing trip, a round of kitesurfing or a SUP. In the cold season, it's off to the toboggan run with family and friends under a clear starry sky and whizzing down mountain trails on a snowbike during the day. Romantics should not miss out on a snowshoe hike in glorious weather.
