Holidays to Seefeld

On Tyrol's high mountain plateau, Seefeld is an old farming village turned popular summer holiday spot, brimming with life and walking opportunities

A summer holiday in Seefeld offers a little bit of everything. Its plateau location means lots of sunshine and plenty of circular rambles round dense forests, Alpine meadows and picturesque mountain lakes, with distant views of spectacular limestone peaks. Everyone from leisurely strollers to keen summiteers will feel at home.

A walking holiday in Seefeld

Walkways cling to the rock walls in the gorges of the Geisterklamm and Gleirschklamm, and turquoise waters rush through the narrow crevices below, having spent years carving unique formations into the rock.

The Karwendel and Wetterstein mountains that frame the plateau are a dream come true for adventurous hikers. The Rosshütte lifts climb up towards the limestone peaks of the Seefelderspitze and Reitherspitze, where the routes are rugged and more of a challenge – the views from the top make the climb worthwhile.

Discover summer holidays in Seefeld: A mountain town with character

There’s a bustling atmosphere in Seefeld in the summer, especially on Tuesdays when it comes alive for market day. The parish church of St. Oswald is a famous pilgrimage site and the 500-year-old monastery next food brew the best beer on the high plateau. The Seekirchl chapel (also called Heiligkreuzkirche) is the region’s most iconic landmark and took 37 years to build, finally getting completed in 1666.

Summer activities in Seefeld: From cycling to wild swimming

A refreshing dip in a mountain lake is welcome on a sunny day, and Seefeld has plenty. Möserer See is a secluded lake in an idyllic location surrounded by forest and rumoured to be the warmest in the region, and the Wildsee, just outside Seefeld, is popular for families and sunbathers.

For keen cyclists and families, hundreds of kilometres of gravel roads and cycle paths weave in and out of the trees and meadows.

Visit Innsbruck

Innsbruck is a lovely city to visit in the summer. From the town centre, trains whisk explorers in all directions. It's easily discovered in a day – stroll around the historic old town with quaint streets, baroque architecture and the famous Golden Roof. Or, take the cable car up to the Nordkette mountain to see the city from above.

Getting Around Seefeld

The Seefeld plateau has a great network of public transport and lifts that make getting around the area really easy.

Lifts

There's five lifts open around Seefeld during the summer, normally from the end of May/beginning of June until October. 

The Rosshütte area takes you up above the Seefeld plateau and has three lifts:

  • Standseilbahn (mountain railway/funicular)
  • Härmelekopfbahn (cable car)
  • Seefelderjochbahn (cable car)

Weekly passes are available for the Rosshütte lifts and are usually around €135 for six days. Individual tickets are also available. The Rosshütte area is a great option if you want to get the best views with minimal effort, or many great hiking routes start from the top of each lift.

The Gschwandtkopf chair lift is in easy walking distance of Seefeld and goes up the Gschwandtkopf mountain. Only individual tickets are available for this lift and at the top you'll find a very pleasant mountain hut with great views.

The final lift is the Katzenkopf, which is a chair lift in nearby Leutasch where you can by individual tickets.

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.

Our Favourite Walks

The walking around Seefeld is so beautiful that all walks could be considered a favourite, but here are just a few routes that we really love:

Wildmoos and Mösern Lake

  • Easy hike 
  • 7.1 kilometres with 250 metres of height gain
  • Expect to take around three hours
  • Plenty of huts for refreshments

A beautiful loop through picturesque woodland starting from the Mösern Lake, just outside Seefeld. The loop takes you past the Lottensee, a beautiful periodical lake and you'll get excellent views of the Inn valley on the way back.

Gleirschklamm

  • Moderate hike
  • 13.1 kilometres with 381 metres of height gain
  • Expect to take just over four hours
  • You'll need to take a packed lunch or snacks for this hike as you only pass one hut

The Gleirschklamm Gorge is wild and beautiful with glacial water flowing through narrow rock passageways. Starting in Scharnitz, this route follows the Isar valley past the Scharnitzeralm and to the gorge. The narrow path through the gorge has wooden walkways in places and is only suitable for the sure-footed. On your return, follow the Hochwaldweg (high wild path) back to Scharnitz.

Königstour (The King's Tour)

  • Challenging hike
  • 4.4 kilometres with 502 metres of height gain

A panoramic high altitude hike that takes in two summits. Starting from the top of the Seefelderjochbahn this incredible hike summits the Seefelderspitze (2,220 metres) and the Reitherspitze (2,373 metres). After around three hours of tricky walking, including the mountain peaks, you'll reach the Nördlinger Hütte which is a beautiful mountain hut with amazing views. After enjoying some well earned refreshments, the walk to the top of the Härmelekopfbahn takes about an hour. Return to Seefeld on the lift.

Things To Do

Experience the local culture and festivals

Seefeld is a town brimming with life in summer with weekly Tyrolean evenings and open-air concerts at the band stand. Immerse yourself in the local culture by visiting during a festival like Strudelfest, Almabtrieb or the Annual Village Festival. Try local food in the many high quality restaurants or head to the Klosterbrau Grill for some home-brewed beer. Tuesday is market day in Seefeld and the town square comes alive with food, drink and craft stalls.

Explore on two wheels

With over 570 kilometres of trails, you can explore the natural landscape of the Seefeld plateau and surrounding villages by bike really easily. Families will love the beginner routes, and keener mountain bikers can try some bike-and-hike routes that will get you really high into the spectacular Karwendal mountains. If you prefer your biking less strenuous, hire an e-bike and allow the battery to take the pressure off your legs as you enjoy the stunning views.

Activities for the whole family

Open the children's eyes to the mountain wilderness and help them develop an interest in the natural world. Discover child-friendly walking routes and themed trails, have fun on mountain adventure playgrounds, or make a splash in the outdoor swimming pools. Children will love it here just as much as you will.

Take a refreshing dip in the mountain lakes and pools

Enjoy the peaceful location of the idyllic Möserer See lake or, head to Mittenwald in Bavaria where you can walk to Lautersee and Ferchensee, two stunning bathing lakes. At the Wildsee, there's two swimming options including a heated outdoor pool and swimming lake. Families with young children will also love the leisure pools in Seefeld, with slides and children's areas.

Climbing in the Karwendel and Wetterstein mountains

With a strong, 100-year tradition of climbing in the region, Seefeld is a real hotspot, both for pros coming to take on the iconic Chinesische Mauer - a sheer rockface with more than 170 routes - and beginners just starting out. The Flämenwandl climbing area is a family-friendly location with more than 20 routes. As well as the climbing, there’s seating and a BBQ area, right next to the rushing Leutascher Ache River.

Visit Innsbruck, the capital of the Tyrol

Only 30-40 minutes from Seefeld, you can easily enjoy a day soaking up the culture in Innsbruck. Head to the old town where the architecture and narrow streets take you back in time. See the Golden Roof and the Ambras Castle, or head just out of town to the Swarovski Crystal World. Innsbruck hosted the Winter Olympics in 1964 and 1976, and you can visit the ski jump and enjoy the stunning view from the top. Or head up the Nordkette mountain and see the spectacular Inn valley from above.

What You say
  • As a single person, the guided walks were excellent as I went further into the mountains than I would on my own.
