Introduction:

Seefeld ski resort adopts an air of quiet, sophisticated affluence from its scenic position above the Inn Valley.

Twice a venue for the Winter Olympics, the village has a long history. Pilgrims have been journeying to the pfarrkirche (parish church) since 1384, to commemorate the ‘Miracle of the Host’. This was when an arrogant communicant was punished for demanding the priest's Communion wafer by being partially ingested by the church floor.

If you're looking for a vast ski area with hundreds of kilometres of terrain, you should look elsewhere. But if you're learning downhill skiing, are keen to swish the hours away on some of Europe's best cross-country skiing, or you’re ready to revel in top-end luxury, you're in the right place.

Location:

Seefeld is 25km (16 miles) northwest of Innsbruck, on a plateau above and to the north of the Inn Valley. The road (Highway 177) and rail route continue northwards to Germany and the ski resorts of Mittenwald and Gamisch-Partenkirchen.
