Pertisau is a holiday and climatic health resort at the southern
end of the Achensee in Tyrol. Administratively, the place Pertisau
belongs to the municipality of Eben am Achensee.
Pertisau was
first mentioned in a document from the St. Georgenberg-Fiecht Abbey
in the 14th century.
The place was of supraregional
importance due to the Habsburgs, the rulers of Austria used the area
around Pertisau from the 15th century until the end of the First
World War in 1918 as a hunting ground and the Achensee for fishing.
Tourism in the village started around the middle of the 19th
century and, with many hotels, can be classified as more upscale.

autobahn at the exit Achensee / Zillertal (No. 39), from here via
the well-developed federal highway 181 up to Achensee. At Maurach
then turn off the main road to Pertisau.
If you want, you can
stop on the B 181 in front of Maurach and enjoy a beautiful view
back into the Inn Valley.

Both routes meet again in the area of the
