Planning a trip to Seefeld
Seefeld sits on a sunny plateau at around 1,200 metres, between the Wetterstein and Karwendel mountains. The village centre is largely pedestrian, so once you have arrived you can do most of your holiday on foot: cafés, shops, the parish church and the walking trails all start close together.
Getting there
The nearest airport is Innsbruck, roughly 30 minutes by car. Munich is a little under two hours away. Seefeld also has its own railway station on the line from Innsbruck, which makes a car-free holiday realistic. If you are combining Seefeld with the Zell am See region, plan around two and a half hours by road between the two.
When to come
Winter is the classic season: Seefeld is one of the best-known cross-country skiing areas in the Alps, with gentle family slopes for downhill beginners. Summer brings plateau walks, small lakes such as the Wildsee at the edge of the village, cycling and day trips to Innsbruck. Spring and autumn are quieter and often good value.
