Seefeld A wonderful world of water
Surrounded by the mountains of both the Wetterstein range and the Karwendel
Alpine Park (the largest nature reserve in the eastern Alps), as well as the
Wild Moss protected area, Seefeld is unsurprisingly renowned as an unspoiled
natural idyll where relaxation and enjoyment is around every corner and fresh
Alpine air recharges even the flattest of batteries.
What is true for the air is also true for the clear, mountain spring water and
there’s nothing more relaxing than a peaceful stroll along an Alpine brook,
or whiling away the morning beside a tranquil mountain lake. Lake Wildsee
is ideal for families who like to relax or enjoy a dip, while the remote Lake
Moserer is a hidden paradise, deep in the forest. Lake Wildmoos and Lake
Lottensee offer an insight into the rarest of phenomenon – these lakes drain
themselves periodically and then reappear as if by magic.
With an easygoing e-bike tour, even the not-so-fit can head up high into
the mountains where original Alpine huts offering delicious food and grand
views are waiting to be discovered. If that still sounds like too much effort,
then the train ride to the top provides the same spectacular views over the
high Alpine plateaus.
But it’s not all quiet calm here. Adrenalin junkies can ride the roaring rapids
in a kayak or canoe, or paraglide from a height of 2,100m – not for the
faint-hearted. Throughout the region, spectacular bridges and trails have
been hewn from mountain faces, leading hikers over the cascading mountain
streams that roar through the Spirit Gorge – a breathtaking experience
that both children and adults can enjoy. In fact, Seefeld promises an unforgettable
family holiday with experienced childcare supervisors adhering to
a motto of ‘fun and games in pure nature’. Attractions such as the Leutasch
Kids’ Park, themed nature trails (like the Bee Experience trail) and, of course,
the winter family ski resorts complete an impressive line-up of child-friendly
activities.
Back in town, Seefeld’s pedestrian zone is brimming with unlimited shopping
pleasure and a wide range of exclusive boutiques where you’ll find the latest
Italian shoe trends, Parisian fashion creations, London’s top brands and
sparkling Swarovski products sit side-by-side with genuine Austrian handicrafts.
Traditional Tyrolean hospitality radiates throughout the cosy bed and
breakfasts, spacious holiday apartments and luxury hotels, with a particularly
high concentration of five-star hotels in the region.
Seefeld is also conveniently located for trips of any length, being close to the
Tyrolean capital Innsbruck (25 minutes’ drive) and Munich (90 minutes).
