| • | Seefeld is a village in the Tirol province of Austria. It is a popular destination for walking holidays in the summer, and winter sports in winter.
Geographically, it's situated on a south-facing plateau north of the River Inn. It is on the watershed between the Inn and the Isar. The plateau (which also has villages such as Leutasch and Mösern) is bordered by a steep drop off to the Inn valley to the south, the Wetterstein and Mieminger mountain ranges to the west, and the Karwendel mountain range to the east. To the north, the valley continues through the towns of Scharnitz and Mittenwald into Germany.
The village is so popular with walkers because of its plateau location - there are many attractive walks which don't depend on climbing up and down mountains. However, the walks into the mountains are beautiful too, especially since the Karwendel is a huge nature reserve. Recommended walks include down through the Schlossbachklamm to Hochzirl (then the train back), and from the cable car stations down into the Eppzirlertal (if you're fairly fit). There are possibilities for multi-day walks through the Karwendel towards the Achensee.
The ski area's not too impressive in the winter: it's small, although the terrain itself is quite good. It is however good for beginners and those who want other things to do (walks, shopping and the Olympia swimming complex for a start). It's also good for cross-country skiers - one of the best areas in the world.
It has two main mountain areas (for walking or skiing) - one is the round hill "Gschwandtkopf" and the other is a series of mountains (known incorrectly as "Roßhütte" after the large mountain restaurant half-way up). These mountains dominate the Seefeld plateau - from left/north to right/south, they are the Seefelderjoch, Seefelderspitze, Härmelekopf and Reitherspitze.
Notable other landmarks include the Seekirchl, a small, onion-domed church, and the Pfarrhügel, an extension of the Gschwandtkopf into the town centre forming a small attractive hill. There's also a lake called the Wildsee.
The village has existed as a farming village for centuries. Tourism began in the early 20th century, but has only grown to its present since since the mid-1970s.
