What makes Seefeld special as a destination?
Seefeld in Tirol sits on a sun-drenched plateau at 1,200 meters between the Wetterstein Mountains and the Hohe Munde and has been world-famous since the Olympic Winter Games of 1964 and 1976 as a mecca for Nordic skiing. However, the charming small town with its elegant pedestrian zone, lovingly painted house facades, and mild climatic appeal is much more than a cross-country skiing paradise. In winter, 279 kilometers of well-prepared cross-country ski trails stretch across the snowy high plateau and the surrounding valleys – a paradise for both skating and classic styles. For alpine skiers, the Rosshütte and Gschwandtkopf cable cars offer clear, family-friendly slopes with views of the Zugspitze. The Nordic Academy offers professional cross-country skiing courses for beginners, and the biathlon taster course at the World Championship stadium allows vacationers to try their hand at shooting. In summer, visitors hike through lush alpine meadows to the Wildmoossee, a mysterious lake that only holds water every few years, or enjoy breathtaking views on the panoramic trail to the Reither Spitze. The Casino Seefeld brings a touch of glamour to the mountains, while the Olympia Sports and Congress Center spa offers relaxation. Its central location between Innsbruck and Garmisch-Partenkirchen makes Seefeld an ideal base for day trips in both directions. For German guests, the journey via Mittenwald or the Inn Valley motorway is quite simple.
