Skiing in Seefeld
Country: Austria
In a nutshell: A real winter wonderland that is great for beginners and non-skiers
We like:
- A fantastic resort for non-skiers with a raft of winter activities on offer
- The ski area is great for beginners, with good nursery slopes and plenty of gentle blue runs
- Lots of swanky hotels with fabulous spa facilities
- It’s less than 30 minutes from Innsbruck, so a short transfer and good for people wanting to visit the city
We don’t like:
- The ski area is small with very little to interest advanced skiers or good intermediates
- It’s a bus ride to the main ski slopes
- No high-altitude skiing

RESORT DESCRIPTION
Seefeld is a year round Austrian holiday destination, which also happens to have a ski area attached to it. Unlike other resorts, the skiing doesn’t take centre stage.
Instead there is a wealth of other winter activities on offer such, from the fairly standard skating, to the outlandish snowshoe-yoga. There’s also some of the best cross-country skiing in the Alps. For many that’s a bit too much activity, so relaxing in one of the many excellent spas, taking a long lunch or gentle snowy walk is actively encouraged.
The resort is a charming Tyrolean town with a lot of swanky hotels and a quiet, relaxed atmosphere. It’s a wonderful place for taking it slow, treating yourself and enjoying a winter break in beautiful alpine scenery.
The skiing is well suited to beginners, and Seefeld is a great option for first time skiers. There are some good nursery slopes at the village, and some gentle slopes higher up to progress too. Intermediates wanting to go at a relaxed pace will also enjoy the skiing. There are some challenging runs, but keen skiers will probably get bored of the slopes fairly quickly.
Seefeld’s proximity to Innsbruck make it a great option for people wanting a short break in the mountains, in a real winter-wonderland destination, with a bit of skiing on the side.
