Walchsee
A broad lake at the northern foot of the Kaiser Mountains, with lakeside bathing areas, windsurfing and a full cycling path around the shore; one of Tyrol's warmest swimming lakes.
Walchsee lies about 15 km northeast of Kufstein in the Kaiserwinkl region. The lake's surface is wide, and its south side is backed by the Kaiser Mountains. In summer the water temperature reaches about 24°C. Along the shore are several bathing areas and rental points for windsurfing and stand-up paddleboarding, and the lakeside path is about 7 km long, suitable for walking and cycling. In winter the surrounding area becomes a cross-country skiing zone. It is about 20 minutes' drive from Kufstein, with buses available, and most lakeside bathing areas charge admission.
