Seefeld is an international ski resort with seperate ski areas for beginners and intermediates. The resort has an excellent range of shops, bars and cafes, a superb sports centre, excellent cross country skiing facilities, sleigh rides and a casino. With the 'Happy Ski Card' area lift pass you can also ski into Garmisch Partenkirchen in Germany. Seefeld is an excellent choice for groups of mixed ability skiers or groups including non-skiers. Apres Ski Seefeld is a lively resort with many great bars, cafes and sophisticated nightclubs. Activities on offer include the Olympia sports centre, curling, indoor golf and sleigh rides. Skiing Beginners For a gentle introduction to skiing Seefeld's superb ski school and slopes are highly recommended. The Geigenbuhel beginners area is perfect for mastering snowplough turns. Intermediates The Gschwandtkopf served by a series of chairlifts and tows is close to the village centre and caters well for lower intermediates. From the other end of the village a mountain railway allows skiers to travel in comfort up to the Rosshute, offering more challenging piste. Advanced While adventurous experts may find the area limiting, there are one or two runs on the Rosshütte which should not be taken lightly. The upper slopes of the Seefelder Joch are often heavily mogulled and the off-piste on the far side of the Härmelekopf is excellent, but should only be tackled with a guide. With an area lift pass, advanced skiers can head over to Garmisch in Germany and have a go on the 'Kandahar' - Germany's World Cup downhill run. Snowboarding Local riders from Innsbruck can be found in the half-pipe and snowboard park here. For intermediates there is some good terrain to explore and beginners shouldn't find the terrain too stressful. |
