The legendary Karwendel March
2,500 runners, hikers and Nordic walkers take part in this 52 or 35 km long march, leading from Scharnitz to Achensee with heavenly conditions. A huge sport festival!

The Karwendel mountains are not just a hiking paradise, but also a fantastic location for active yet relaxing holidays on two wheels. Our mountain and biking specialist Christine will take you on tours to the most beautiful places in the region. And if you feel something pull or tweak after a long day in the saddle, we will give you a kinesio tape and a soothing wellness treatment.

Ski right alongside the Achensee, with the magnificent Karwendel mountains as your backdrop. Enjoy breathtaking vistas in which amazing shades of blue and white colours make it appear too beautiful to be true. You will struggle to find a more spectacular cross-country skiing location.

2020 is the year: the Josef Rieser family celebrates its 60th anniversary at the Hotel Karwendel. Grandma and Grandpa Rieser acquired the Karwendel as a small café for holidaymakers in the old Viennese stylef rom Mrs Rosa Kirchmair (Grandma Rieser's mother) on January 1, 1960. We believe this fantastic anniversary is a reason to celebrate! But how? We would have loved to invite all of you to a huge party. But there are so many guests who have grown close to our hearts that it would be too much for our space. That's why we're celebrating in winter and in summer on certain dates in a nice ambience and with special events. This is our top anniversary offer for you!
