Perhaps the best cross-country ski destination in the world, this Nordic sporting village is famous for hosting various world-class competitions including the Winter Olympics. With a goldmine of different activities on and off the snow and regular events throughout the season, there’s never a dull moment during a stay in Seefeld.
Seefeld is a fairly large, laid-back and traditionally Austrian village in the Innsbruck Valley of Tirol. Its history goes far back, as evidenced by the charming village churches - one of which was built in the 13th Century. Nowadays there are modern facilities and an abundance of luxury hotels with gourmet restaurants and swanky bars to be found here. Skiers and non-skiers alike will love the bundle of activities, events and attractions in this stunningly scenic area.
With a whopping 279km of cross-country skiing trails for different abilities, the area is renowned as top destination for Nordic sports, especially considering it’s been the official host for events including the 1964 and 1976 Winter Olympics and first Winter Youth Olympic Games in 2012. Cross-country is brilliant form of exercise that works more muscles and burns more calories than simply shooting down a piste – the fantastic sights you’ll see on the journey make it all worth it. You could even give Biathlon a go and combine the cross-country with a bit of state-of-the-art rifle shooting.
The 48km ski area is relatively small in comparison to other resorts, but Seefeld’s wealth of activities mean there’s always something to keep visitors busy on or off the snow. Amongst other activities, soak in the scenery on a winter walk along 142km of clear and gritted paths or go tobogganing. You can also have a round of indoor golf, visit the cinema or bowling alley, go for a swim or pamper yourself in one of the relaxing wellness centres.
Bag yourself an appropriately titled ‘Happy Ski Card’ and you’ll have access to downhill skiing over Bergbahnen Rosshütte, Gschwandtkopf, Geigenbühel and Birkenlift that make up the area. If you’re thinking of cross-country skiing around the expansive ‘Olympiaregion’ you can purchase a ‘Guest Card’ which is usually really cheap!

Woods Kitchen & Bar Woods Kitchen & Bar is an amazing new restaurant in Seefeld. Bringing something different to the resort, it offers full day entertainment and has a lovely warm panorama bar, lounge deck and terrace outdoors as well as a wine lounge, restaurant and lively bar indoors.

A must-visit for a super meal during your holiday in Seefeld!
The Ski-Alm at the bottom of the Rosshütte is the most popular place to kick off an evening of après.

Inside the Fundisco you can find the Britannia pub with darts, billiards and pinball machines. Later on, the Jeep discothèque opens for some thumping techno late into the evening. The Fledermaus is another recommended club known for its swish cocktails.

Area 47 offer loads of opportunities for Rafting, all over the Tirol valley; the Imst gorge is relatively relaxed while the Sanna River is pretty terrifying. The organisers put on loads of great music and sports events in the event-halls as well, so if you’re knackered from an active day there’s still plenty to keep you entertained.
Golfclub Seefeld Reith The flat valleys of the Tirol are perfect conditions for a round of Golf; head to Golfclub Seefeld Reith’s 9-hole course to get into the swing of things. You can double the holes to make an 18-hole round for just a bit more of a Green fee. There’s a driving range too and a golf school operates at the course for those who are looking to develop rather than play a game. There are plenty of tournaments too, if competitive golf is more your thing.
Alpenpark Karwendel There are loads of great walking and hiking routes to tackle in the Alpenpark Karwendel, which – at 727km2 – is the largest nature park in Austria. Protecting birds and animals and helping them flourish is the main priority – just look at their recent work breeding sandpipers.
