We had a memorable week staying at the Wiesenhof Hotel in Pertisau starting second week of August 2025. The hotel is conveniently located in the centre of town, set back from the road but close to all amenities including the Lake Achensee waterfront. The Wiesenhof is a family-run hotel and that shone through in the welcoming attitude and commitment of the staff. The hotel caters for the range of guests – singles, couples and family groups. Our en-suite double room had a west-facing balcony and was very comfortable. The hotel offers a range of facilities chief among which must be the stunning, covered 25m swimming pool. The scope of activities available is impressive and the guest may pursue all manner of local pursuits: hiking, cycling, boating, swimming in the lake, golf, even paragliding. Furthermore, travel around the area is easy using the local bus service (free with bus pass). Our package was half-board, and the food was invariably excellent and beautifully presented. At dinner it was possible to have five courses and there were always four options for the main course including vegetarian options. We had visited Pertisau to take advantage of the wonderful hiking trails in the area. Fortunately, the Tyrol’s August weather that week was splendid. Walking around Lake Achensee is delightful and relatively flat but there are many hills/mountains to be walked as well – the walks range from easy to challenging. The views are stunning and we were not disappointed. On a ‘rest day’, we also visited the Schloss Tratzberg, a C16 castle near Jenbach and separately the Museum in central Jenbach. These attractions are both well worth a visit although we suggest confirming the days on which they are open before visiting.
