Panoramic drives in the Chiemgau region

The region’s most beautiful scenic routes. Set amongst Lake Chiemsee, Alpine passes and winding mountain roads, one of Bavaria’s most beautiful driving regions begins right on the doorstep of the Das Achental resort – ideal for classic cars, sports cars and stylish drives.

PLEASURE RATHER THAN SPEED

Pleasure rather than speed – cycling culture in the Chiemgau
The landscape surrounding the Achental Resort in Grassau is simply perfect for challenging rides. Gentle lakeshores, winding mountain roads and alpine panoramic passes combine to form a network of routes that blends driving pleasure with sweeping views.
Here, it’s not about speed, but about the line. Not about noise, but about atmosphere. Whether it’s a classic vintage car tour, a convertible drive around Lake Chiemsee or a sporty, dynamic mountain pass circuit – the Chiemgau offers a wealth of variety within just a few kilometres.
