About Marquartstein

Marquartstein in the Achental is a quiet Chiemgau village at the foot of the Hochplatte and a popular launch site for paragliders. The 1,100 m long summer toboggan run, the medieval Marquartstein Castle, and the proximity to Lake Chiemsee make the village a versatile family destination. The Achental offers wonderful hiking trails between gentle alpine meadows and rugged peaks, and the famous Kampenwand is just a short drive away.
