Cross-country Pertisau

The region Achensee includes one of the largest and best-kept networks of cross-country trails in Austria, and received a rating of 4 stars from the ADAC in the category cross-country. In total, there are over 200 km of trails of all levels of difficulty and catering to all styles (classic and skating). Beginners can participate in classes in all resorts.

The resort Pertisau offers approx. 40 km of cross-country trails, of which approx. 37.5 km can be used as skating trails. An absolute highlight for cross-country fans is the trail from Pertisau into the Falzthurn valley, which spans over 14 km through the dense escarpments of the Karwendel into a sunny valley.

For everyone who has never been on the narrow cross-country skis and wants to learn the northern sports, Pertisau offers a practice trail for the first attempts. Further there is also a dog trail and certain tracks for sledge attachments.

At the beginning of January the Nordic Achensee race takes place in the region, where ambitious cross-country skiers go on a 30 km long and very demanding route. The little ones can practice on the Mini-Achesee trail. At the end of February the Achensee 3-valley-run takes places.

The cross-country trail network in the Achensee region is awarded with a seal of quality.
