Family holidays at Lake Heiterwang

Holidays with children by the lake in Austria

The Fischer am See is not your typical family hotel. It is a place where families can simply be themselves. With space, peace and quiet, and the luxury of spending time together. So simple, yet so precious.

A family holiday at Lake Heiterwanger in Tyrol means one thing above all else: freedom. Freedom for children to play, explore and laugh outdoors. And freedom for parents, who know their children are in safe hands. Surrounded by nature, far from the hustle and bustle and the noise of traffic. For a carefree holiday with children by the lake in Austria.

Playground

With a large play and sunbathing area

Right in front of the Hotel Fischer am See lies a spacious playground that is sure to become a favourite spot for our younger guests.

The expansive lawn for sunbathing and playing, stretching right down to the lakeside, is the ideal spot for exercise, sunbathing or simply for relaxing in the open air. Here, children can be children, whilst adults enjoy the tranquillity of the water and the view of the surrounding mountains.

Barbecue area

Relaxing moments by the fire

Shared moments often happen quite naturally: during barbecue evenings by the fire pit, as the day draws to a close and stories, laughter and the crackling of the fire blend together. Or how about a romantic picnic on the grass with views of the lake and mountains?

Boat Trips

On Lake Heiterwanger and Lake Plansee

A wide range of activities awaits you right on the doorstep of the hotel. A special experience for the whole family is the hotel’s own boat service on Lake Heiterwanger and Lake Plansee.

From late May to mid-October, the two passenger ships, the MS Margarethe and the MS Wilhelm, glide across crystal-clear waters. Almost like being in a fjord, right in the heart of Tyrol. The ships take you to various landing stages, from which you can set off on hikes, excursions or short discovery tours.

Rowing boats, electric boats and pedalos

Or perhaps stand-up paddleboarding?

Those looking for a more personalised experience can explore the lake in a rowing boat, electric boat or pedalo, or glide across the water on a stand-up paddleboard. Gentle waves, the warm sun and the exercise have a calming effect and boost your energy levels: for explorers of all ages.

Family happiness all year round

A family holiday at Lake Heiterwanger thrives on the many little experiences that unfold throughout the year. Lake Heiterwanger is not just a summer destination. From blossoming spring meadows to snow-covered winter landscapes – every season has its own magic.

Springtime by the lake

Nature comes to life and family adventures

In spring, there’s plenty for children to discover: the first flowers by the wayside, meadows to run in, and short walks starting right from the campsite – easily manageable even for little ones. Strolls into the village of Heiterwang or a family run soon become part of the daily routine.
