Discover Acham: Hiking and Winter Cross-Country Skiing

Two different routes pass through Acham: the hiking route leads through Stumm to Acham, while the winter cross-country skiing route goes through Stumm into the Acham district. Both then cross a pedestrian bridge in the direction of Kaltenbach. Optimal Ski School also offers a ski school for children aged 4 to 12, with its own children’s park. This gives you a choice between hiking and cross-country skiing alongside a specific offering for children.

Hiking or winter cross-country skiing

The Kaltenbach–Aschau–Stumm–Kaltenbach hiking route passes through Stumm to Acham and then crosses the pedestrian bridge towards Kaltenbach. The Kaltenbach–Aschau–Stumm–Kaltenbach winter cross-country skiing route also passes through Stumm, here into the Acham district, and then crosses the pedestrian bridge towards Kaltenbach. Both routes include Acham; the key difference is the activity: hiking or cross-country skiing. If you are planning your stay around a specific activity, you can first decide which of these two options suits your days, then match the route to your travel dates.

Seasonal and route conditions

Conditions on the hiking route may vary by season. Snow and trail conditions on the winter cross-country skiing route are also seasonal. Plan around your travel dates and check the conditions relevant to your route before setting out. This way, when choosing your day’s activities, you can take both the activity and the season into account.

Getting to the winter route

To reach the winter route, take the Zillertalbahn train or bus to Kaltenbach/Stumm station. There is also a public parking lot at the station for this route. This gives you two specific travel options to consider: taking the Zillertalbahn or driving and using the parking lot at the station. If you are travelling by train or bus, check the connection to Kaltenbach/Stumm. If you are driving, you can factor the public parking lot at the station into your plans.
