This mountain village is surrounded by the Karwendel and the Wetterstein ranges and is a year-round travel destination. 

The Seefeld region is a popular travel destination due to its picturesque setting and extensive network of walking, cycling and hiking trails in summer and cross-country ski trails in winter. During both the 1964 and 1976 Winter Olympics in nearby Innsbruck, Seefeld was the location for all cross-country skiing events. 

Seefeld’s main landmark is the “Seekirchl,” the little church in the lake, which was completed in 1666.  While the lake has long since been drained, the rotunda shaped church with its onion dome remains the visual landmark of the town. Another attraction is the peace bell: An impressive heavy bell that is rung daily in the late afternoon and serves as a symbol of peaceful co-operation and neighborliness within the Alps region. A short Peace Walk, offering seven stations for reflection and self-contemplation leads up to the bell.

The inner village of Seefeld offers a lively and car-free pedestrian zone with numerous cafés, restaurants and shops. Gaming enthusiasts will want to head to one of Austria’s official casinos. If you love swimming, visit the large public Olympia Sports Centre with two indoor and two outdoor pools, water slides, access to two swimming lakes and full spa facilities. Cycling, mountain biking and golf are among the other popular sports activities in summer, so join the locals on one of the trails.  

Seefeld is located about 11 miles (17 kilometres) north of Innsbruck and can be reached by air in less than 2 hours from Munich airport and 30 minutes from Innsbruck airport. Trains also connect Seefeld with these major cities.

Lovely stay
"We had a great stay. The pool area was nice, but the sauna was really great. We used the massage service as well which was good. Breakfast was very confusing though, so beware if you book breakfast but not dinner you don't seem to get a table - the whole process was pretty confusing. But our room ..."

I liked every aspect of Seefeld - maybe not quite as pretty as Mittenwald or Berchtesgaden, but very friendly and welcoming. Super selection of cafes and restaurants and the Vereinsfest was a cracker!

5/5 - Excellent

Love this town - lots of things to see and enjoy when not on the slopes

5/5 - Excellent

Skiing is perfect for family’s. Slopes are wide and well maintained and plenty of ski schools to choose from. An efficient bus service operates from the centre to either of the two close by resorts.
