Before the ducks take to the water, everyone gets together to craft, tinker, and laugh. Every family at the Sporthotel Achensee Family Paradise transforms their duck into their very own racing boat using creative ideas. There are no limits to the imagination.
Let's head to the racetrack together
After the warm-up at the Seealm, a leisurely stroll leads into the Unterautal valley. There, the race track awaits the little ducks. And then it’s time to go!
The ducks zoom through the ADAC Tunnel, past the Orange Corner, and on through the Hlebaina-S and the Fox Den. The excitement builds with every turn. One moment one duck is in the lead, the next the one behind is catching up.
Parents and children cheer on their favorites and share in the excitement. Because at the duck race, one thing matters most of all: having fun together.

The Grand Finale at Kleiner Achensee
After the exciting race, the grand finale awaits at the pier on the Kleiner Achensee. At the awards ceremony, the fastest ducks will be celebrated and great prizes will be awarded.
But really, every family is a winner.
Because what remains are the memories of a special day on vacation: the time spent crafting together, the laughter, the cheering, and the excitement right up to the last turn.

In the end, a little luck makes all the difference
There’s so much creativity, team spirit, and ingenuity that goes into every duck—but in the end, luck also plays a small part. The current, the water level, and the occasional curve can determine which duck crosses the finish line first. And that’s exactly what makes the race so exciting: No one knows until the very end who’ll be in the lead!
