Playing golf at the highest level

The wealth of golfing opportunities in the Olympiaregion Seefeld’s will stir the heart of every golfer.

To play golf in the Olympiaregion Seefeld is to experience nature at its finest. The 18 fairways of the Seefeld-Wildmoos Golf Club, which is a member of the “Leading Golf Courses Austria”, were landscaped some 40 years ago by the English architect Donald Harradine. Designed in such a way as to blend in with the undulating Alpine landscape with its meadows and forests of larch and birch, surrounded by majestic fir and spruce trees, experts rightly rank it among the world’s top 100 golf courses.

Depending on the season, the fairways are surrounded by flowering meadows of bright blue gentian, by colourful summer blooms or by the rich colours of autumn. The Alpine elevation and comparatively thin mountain air lengthen your drive and, along with the breathtaking views, you’re guaranteed an unforgettable game. And if you fancy taking it easy one day, why not play a round on the 9-hole course at the Golfclub Seefeld-Reith situated right in the village itself.

Hiking & Climbing

Seefeld …. a walking paradise

Hardly any other summer holiday activity is as popular as walking – and rightly so: good footwear and functional clothing are all you need to get out into the fabulous countryside and enjoy all the new experiences and impressions each new day can bring.

The region’s unique location alone makes it a Mecca for hiking enthusiasts. Nestling among the mountains of the Wetterstein range, the Alpenpark Karwendel nature reserve and the Wildmoos landscape conservation area, the south-facing high plateau is the ideal “base camp” for mountain enthusiasts or for those who are aspiring to become one. Over 650 kilometres of signposted walking and hiking trails covering all ranges of difficulty, and more than 60 Alpine huts and lodges offering food and drink, form the “hardware” for an unforgettable true taste of nature.

The range of hikes on offer is huge encompassing family walks in the Gaistal Valley’s “Pasture Paradise”, the new, spectacular Leutasch Spirit Gorge, the Wildmoos landscape conservation area, stunning summit climbs, for example up to the Hohe Munde or the Seefelder Spitze or the Reither Spitze and multi-day hikes in the Alpenpark Karwendel. Via ferratas and rock climbing routes allow Alpine enthusiasts to experience the mountains in a different way. Those who place importance on safety and who want to increase their knowledge during hikes can place themselves in the experienced hands of the local mountain guides and hiking instructors.

Mountain biking & E-Biking

The region Seefeld ist one of the eine most varied destinations

The unique natural surroundings of the high plateau with its peaks and valleys are just made for mountain biking. Over 200 kilometres of forest trails and paths approved in accordance with the Tyrol Mountain Bike Model, offer “clear runs” for mountain bikers almost right up to the summits.

Over 200 kilometres of forest trails and paths approved in accordance with the Tyrol Mountain Bike Model, offer “clear runs” for mountain bikers almost right up to the summits. Fresh, clear air and breathtaking views make a wonderful change from the noise and fumes of traffic turning an excursion into the spectacular mountain scenery into an exceptionally invigorating experience. It’s not surprising that the region has hosted such races as the legendary Trans Alp Bike Challenge or the Deutschland Tour in the past and last year the Craft Trans Germany came to Seefeld.

The area is a real El Dorado for bikers with unique terrains for those who like a challenge such as the Gaistal Valley “Pasture Paradise” which is also one of the starting points for the breathtaking “Zugspitz circuit”, the Karwendel Alpenpark nature reserve and the Wildmoos landscape conservation area with linking trails to Mösern and Buchen. The region, however, also has family-friendly tours, e.g. along the banks of the Leutascher Ache stream, round the foot of the Ahrnspitze mountain (Leutasch – Scharnitz – Mittenwald – Leutasch) or from Seefeld to Reith.

Nordic walking & running

A Nordic Sports Expertise Centre all year round

Running and Nordic walking trails stretching over an astounding 266 kilometres, a unique location and lots of fresh mountain air – with these impressive features the region can now stand out in summer too as the number one destination for “Nordic” enthusiasts.

Nordic walking is THE up and coming sport – it is an effective endurance activity which is easy on the joints and the only equipment you need is suitable footwear and poles. It’s easy to learn and appeals to both sports beginners and high-powered athletes alike. The Olympiaregion Seefeld already has the advantage of having a lot of experience and expertise in the field of Nordic sports and so, together with experts in the field of competitive sport, a centre has been created for all Nordic walking and running enthusiasts.

„running & nordic walking arena“

A comprehensive and well-signposted network of Nordic walking and running trails connecting the entire region was opened in the summer of 2008. 30 different routes covering an overall length of 266 kilometres, enable visitors to recharge their batteries and, at the same time, to enjoy the unique natural surroundings of the high plateau. With three levels of difficulty and a wide variety of different types of routes (interval, agility, regeneration, fell running), there’s something for everyone, from absolute beginners to professional athletes. Alongside trails with evocative names such as the “Fisherman’s Run”, the “Root Climb” or the “Leutasch Stream Trail”, there is also a wood chip running trail in Seefeld which offers ideal conditions for co-ordination and endurance training.

ski-roller run & summer biathlon

The nordic sports all year round

Since autumn 2010 there is a new training possibility by using a new ski-roller run. It is laid out in the Casino Arena, the Möserer Valley and the Kirchwald areas, thus making possible a variety of degress of difficulty for custom tailored individual training sessions.

It is 3,3 km long and 3 m wide. Because of its topographical course in Casino Arena, then directly past the shooting stands, combined skiing and shooting training for biathlon athletes is also possible and therefore a big attraction for team training during the whole summer.
