Walchsee, Alpine municipality in Kufstein District, Austria

Located between the Kaiser mountain range and Lake Walchsee, this municipality stretches across 39 square kilometers at an elevation of 658 meters above sea level.

The settlement received its first documented mention in 1151 through a papal record from Eugene III, referring to the village as Walshe.

The Egascht Festival takes place during Whitsun, presenting Haflinger horses and traditional performances that represent the regional identity of Tyrol.

The municipality contains 40 kilometers of walking paths, 25 kilometers of ski runs, and 140 kilometers of cross-country skiing tracks for winter activities.

The Schwemm protected area spans 65 hectares, containing North Tyrol's largest preserved raised bog and supporting 33 different dragonfly species.
