Walking
Walchsee sits with Kössen and Schwendtin in the stunning Kaiserwinkl region. The area offers approx. 200km of hiking paths varying from easy hikes to strenuous tours at high elevations. Climb into the dense forest towards two pretty chapels where the only sound is the babbling of the nearby stream. Head up the 4-seater chairlift to start of many hiking trails. Follow the steady climb up to the steep slopes of the Zahmer Kaiser mountain range. You will be rewarded with some truly outstand views as Walchsee falls away behind you and the Wilder Kaiser range appears ahead.

Active
Walchsee is a perfect choice for families with so much entertainment on offer. The Hotel Bellevue caters extremely well for children, with a supervised kids' club and organised activities. Hire a bike and follow the well signposted trails around the lake and up into the surrounding mountains. Just a short ride away, let the kids discover the brilliant children's adventure park. They can charge down the toboggan runs, tire themselves out in the park and meet mountain animals. Back to the water next - try your hand at sailing, windsurfing and get the adrenaline going.
Why not try· testing your nerve and building up the muscles with a waterskiing lesson!
· heading out for an aftenoon in the hills - if you're very quiet and a little lucky, you might catch a glimpse of the chamois and eagles
· splashing about in the indoor pool if the sun doesn't quite hold out one day
