AN UNFORGETTABLE THRILL IN THE SKY
Discover the thrill of flying and the breathtaking scenery of the Chiemgau region at Das Achental Resort. Our region offers numerous opportunities to enjoy the beauty of the landscape from a bird’s-eye view.
Whether you’d like to experience the freedom of paragliding, be carried through the air by an experienced pilot on a tandem flight, or would rather try out the sensation of gliding or hang-gliding, we have something to offer everyone.
Our hot-air balloon rides are also a highlight, allowing you to enjoy breathtaking views of the countryside whilst gliding gently through the air.
For those who wish to learn to fly seriously, we offer a flight school in partnership with a training centre, where you can undertake training in gliding, aerobatics, cross-country flying or motor gliding. The experienced flight instructors are on hand to offer advice and support, and will guide you on your journey to becoming a pilot.
We look forward to introducing you to the fascination of flying in the Chiemgau region and providing you with unforgettable experiences in the air.
A LOVE OF WATER
Experience the lake in a whole new way and discover the beautiful Chiemgau countryside from the water. Whether you’d like to enjoy the peace and quiet on a stand-up paddleboard (SUP), go on a canoe or kayak trip, or are looking for an adrenaline rush with canyoning (on the Tiroler Ache) – you’ve come to the right place.
Our partner, a water sports school, also offers you the chance to try your hand at sailing or to obtain a boat licence. The experienced and qualified instructors are on hand to guide you and show you how to navigate the boat safely and effectively.
In addition, we also offer private guided sailing and motorboat tours. Our tours are individually tailored to your needs and give you the chance to experience the beauty of Lake Chiemsee in an exclusive and relaxed atmosphere.
The range of water sports activities is perfect for families, groups or couples looking for an exciting and unforgettable adventure.
PARAGLIDING & AIR SPORTS
Experienced paragliders know the best spots to launch their gliders and soar into the mountain air of the Chiemgau region. If you’re new to the sport – or simply curious – here are a few tips to help you get started with paragliding. ‘Hike and fly’ is one way to try out flying. However, a tandem flight is often the first step in a paragliding career. Some of the Chiemgau mountain cable cars have a launch pad for paragliders at the top station.
The thermal conditions in the Chiemgau region are also perfect for hot-air balloons and gliders on many days.
LAKE CHIEMSEE & WATER SPORTS
Bavaria’s largest lake, the Chiemsee, is not called the ‘Bavarian Sea’ for nothing. Holidaymakers and locals alike love it for its size and the unforgettable, sweeping views of the Chiemgau Alps. From beach bars to cycle routes, lakeside cafés to boat hire, water sports and leisure are equally at home here. But without its nearly 50 smaller counterparts, Chiemsee wouldn’t be what it is. Lake Waginger, for example, is the warmest lake in Upper Bavaria. When wanderlust strikes: how about a detour to ‘Little Canada’ – as the locals call the Three Lakes region between Ruhpolding and Reit im Winkl.
CHIEMSEE CRUISING WITH A SKIPPER
Stunning mountain scenery and the sun glistening on the crystal-clear water make your boat trip on Lake Chiemsee a truly unique experience. Relax on the spacious sun deck and leave the stresses of everyday life behind; our responsible skipper will take care of everything. Choose either one of the suggested routes on the website or customise your boat trip to suit your own preferences. Enquire about your yacht via our concierge concierge@das-achental.com or directly via chiemsee-cruising.de.
CANYONING IN THE CHIEMGAU REGION
Haven’t you been canyoning yet? Then it’s high time you did! Canyoning (or gorge walking) involves walking through a gorge from top to bottom. Wearing the appropriate kit, you make your way through the gorge by climbing, jumping, sliding, abseiling, swimming and sometimes even doing a bit of diving. Prepare to be amazed by these extraordinary and breathtaking locations. You’ll be kitted out on site with wetsuits, socks, canyoning harnesses and helmets so you can set off on this wonderful tour. Minimum group size: 6 people (8–10 people per instructor). For more information, please ask at reception or speak to our concierge in the lobby.
