Inghams guided walks - included in your holiday
We’ve included two full-day walks per week in Seefeld, just for Inghams guests. Join a small group and be led by a professional mountain guide on some of their favourite trails. It’s a great way to get to know the area. Walks in Seefeld are run by Sport Aktiv.
The walks will run every Monday, Wednesday and Thursday. The days of your walks will be allocated to you by your rep and details given during your welcome meeting. You can add the walks onto your holiday at the time of booking, through My Booking or by calling us on 01483 319 652.
Routes may vary from week to week but as a guide you can see some of our planned routes below. There's a few options for each day and the specific route will be chosen by the guide on the day, depending on the group's ability.
Monday
Gschwandtkopf to Möserer See and Lottensee
Get back to nature on this scenic walk from the Gschwandtkopf Lift Station (bottom). First it follows a narrow walking trail through the forest up the Gschwandtkopf Mountain to an idyllic reservoir with fantastic views. The route continues to the town of Mösern and the Möserersee Lake that was created from a glaciated area. Then onto the Lottensee, which is a periodic lake meaning it's only full of water every four or five years and finally the Wildmoosee Lake before returning to Seefeld. There is a shorter version of this walk if necessary, which returns to Seefeld after the Möserersee Lake.
