Resort Information

The delightfully picturesque village of Walchsee lies directly on the shore of the lake of the same name, surrounded by the spectacular Zahmer Kaiser mountains. Walchsee is typically Tirolean in character and offers lovely warm lake waters (20-24°C) as well as a warm welcome. Right on the lake, the Hotel Bellevue offers plenty of opportunities for swimming and other water sports. The hotel is also a perfect choice for families with a supervised kids' club and organised activities. If you fancy a day away from the lake there are lots of 'away days' to choose from making Walchsee a very enjoyable family holiday!

Walking

Walchsee has a 4-seater chairlift to take you up to the start of many hiking trails. The Kaiserwinkl region, which also includes Kössen and Schwendt, offers approx. 200km of hiking paths varying from easy hikes to strenuous tours in high elevations. Get a FREE 'Hiker's Pass' from the Tourist Office and earn a gold, silver or bronze badge at the end of your stay. The tourist information centre also offers a guided walk every Thursday and Nordic walking on Wednesdays from mid-June to mid-September.

Activities

There's something for everyone in and around Walchsee. Visit the superb fun park, have a game of golf or tennis or choose from the variety of watersports on offer!
Cycling: Hire a bike (available at the hotel) and follow the well signposted trails around the lake and up into the surrounding mountains. Maps of the cycle paths and trails are available locally which show you the level of difficulty and help you plan your cycling day!
Watersport: Rowing and electric boats are a great way to explore the lake or try your hand at sailing, windsurfing or waterskiing for something more challenging!
Families: Just a short cycle ride away you'll find a magnificent children's adventure park with 2 summer toboggan runs, a children's adventure park, mountain animals and much much more.
