Accommodation
We’ll be staying at the Rieser Lake Achen Resort, founded in 1935 and now lovingly run by the third and fourth generations of the Austrian Rieser family. We chose this hotel not only for its stunning location but also to ensure you experience the genuine warmth of traditional Austrian Alpine culture and the attentive care only a family-run hotel can provide.
We’ll enjoy excellent cuisine with a hearty breakfast, light lunch, afternoon cake, and a 5-course gourmet dinner. Outside of our workshops and group activities, you can relax in the resort’s wellness area with multiple saunas and swimming pools (including a natural garden pool), a large fitness area, and access to fitness and meditation classes. Or else, go off and explore the surrounding area!
