Resort Information
Seefeld lies on a sunny plateau surrounded by stunning peaks and lush green meadows. This friendly resort has a traffic-free centre, where you'll find welcoming bars, quaint cafés and a wide selection of shops. You can take a horse-drawn buggy around the village and out into the surrounding meadows for a relaxing afternoon. For something a bit more active Seefeld is a beautiful spot for walking. Take the mountain railway or chairlift up into the mountains for splendid views or stroll over to Wildsee for a dip in the lake. Seefeld is also highly regarded as a golfing resort, so why not make the most of the discounts offered by most of our hotels?
