Rieser Achensee

Rieser Achensee Resort sits in a privileged position in Pertisau on the shores of Lake Achensee in the Austrian Tyrol, one of the most striking stretches of mountain scenery in the Alps. Just 200 meters from the turquoise water's edge and set within a generous landscaped park, this four-star superior property has been shaped by the Rieser family across three generations into a genuine all-seasons mountain retreat. Accommodations are thoughtfully designed for families, with spacious family rooms, dedicated Family Suites, and new Bärenkopf Suites featuring separate children's rooms so parents can actually unwind after the children are asleep. For larger groups, the Achensee SkyLoft offers 190 square meters of indoor living across three en suite bedrooms, plus a private panoramic pool, a true rarity among family hotels in Austria.

What sets Rieser Achensee apart is how comprehensively it has thought through the logistics of family travel. A new MiniSplash indoor pool area has been created specifically for toddlers, complete with a textile sauna and family cuddle niches, while the wider family and activity pool complex spans both indoor and outdoor areas. A colorful playroom, a teen zone with billiards and foosball, and a spacious outdoor playground and football pitch keep children of every age genuinely entertained. Parents are provided with free use of baby monitors, bottle warmers, changing mats, and strollers, practical touches that make traveling light actually possible. During summer school holiday periods, the wider Achensee region runs a supervised children's and youth program for ages four to sixteen, covering everything from horse adventures to stand-up paddleboarding and climbing. In winter, children can be enrolled at the Bobo ski school in Pertisau at preferential guest rates. With a children's menu, age-scaled pricing, and a doctor in the village, Rieser Achensee genuinely earns its place as one of Austria's most considered family resorts.
