The Achensee is Tyrol’s largest and deepest lake (133m), at 929 metres between the Karwendel and Rofan mountain ranges north of Innsbruck. Clear water, sailing, swimming, and alpine diving. The Achenseebahn steam cog railway (1889) connects Jenbach (Inn valley main line) to the lake in about 40 minutes; check achensee.com for timetable and current conditions. Pertisau on the southern shore is the main resort entry point; Achenkirch is quieter at the northern end. About 40 km northeast of Innsbruck.
