Altaussee

With the sun over Altaussee Lake - The first solar ship in Austria!

Experience pure deceleration on Austria's first solar ship

On board the solar catamaran Altaussee, the natural jewel at the foot of the mountain Loser can be discovered from its most beautiful side. Whether as a scenic round trip or a transfer ride to the nature spot Seewiese: More relaxed than on a boat trip on Lake Altaussee, passengers cannot experience the picturesque surroundings around the lake. For the summer highlight "Berge in Flammen", the boat offers a special trip: On the boat trip "Berge in Flammen", passengers witness the unique lighting of the shores and ridges as well as the Bengal fire from the boat.


Plättenfahrten boat rides on Lake Altaussee

Almost silently, the Plätte, a traditional type of wooden boat from the Ausseerland Salzkammergut region, is steered over the Lake Altaussee either with a paddle or with an electric motor. Particularly beautiful impressions and views of the nature spot Seewiese, the mountain Loser, and the Dachstein massif can be admired from the water.

Whether a classic Plättenfahrt, a delightful Plätten breakfast, or a Plätten picnic in a private setting: In the Plätte for a maximum of 10 people, passengers glide almost silently across the lake with a local Plätten-guide, discovering hidden favorite spots and exciting stories about Lake Altaussee and its inhabitants.

 

Wedding trip "Trau di!"

Together steer into the harbor of marriage, giving the big day a very special setting in the midst of the unique natural backdrop of Lake Altaussee. Whether civil ceremony, champagne reception, or symbolic captain's ceremony – the Schifffahrt Altaussee shipping company creates unforgettable moments for brides and grooms and their guests, ensuring that the wedding in Ausseerland remains a special memory.

 

Boat rental & Lake lounge Altaussee 712

Relax and enjoy the view of the Altaussee mountains Loser, Trisselwand, and the crystal-clear Lake Altaussee, or become the captain yourself and explore the surroundings with one of the many boats (pedal and electric boats). The Lake Lounge Altaussee 712 invites you to relax, linger, and enjoy – while the little ones can let off steam at the nearby playground.

 

The captain and the team of the Schifffahrt Altaussee look forward to your visit.
