Skiing in Seefeld
The resort itself offers only 37km of slopes which, for experienced skiers, can easily be skied in the first couple of days. This is why Seefeld isn’t the resort for advanced skiers looking for mileage, as it offers a more relaxed and leisurely feel that is perfect for non skiers and families.
Seefeld is best for beginners and early intermediate skiers looking to progress and enjoy the more leisurely and gentle runs. Close to the town, alongside the Birkenlift and Geigenbuhel drag lifts is where the best beginner slopes are located. The resort is also highly regarded for its ski schools and the resort offers a host of slopes to progress onto in the Gschwantkopf area.
Gschwandtkopf and Rosshutte are the resort’s two main ski areas which are situated at opposite ends of the Seefeld village. Gschwandtkopf is also reached from the two villages of Reith and Mosern and are perfect for beginners and intermediates as almost all of the runs here are blues with a few reds that go down into Reith.
To get to Rosshutte side, take a mountain railway and from the first peak there are two cable cars. One takes you up to Seefelder Joch at 2046m which is a good area for more advanced skiers as from here there are two black runs down and a couple of reds further down that are accessible by a drag lift. The other cable car goes below Harmelekopf peak at 2224m where there are some red pistes. There are also off-piste trails that run down the back side of Harmelekopf but these must be skied with a qualified guide.
Confident intermediates and advanced skiers can also take a 15-20 minute bus ride to Garmisch-Partenkirchen or Mittenwald, situated over the border in Germany. These resorts are both available on the Happy Card lift pass with Seefeld and are great for those looking for more adventurous terrain.

I learned to ski in the lovely Austrian resort of Seefeld, great nursery slopes with friendly ski schools. Great, wide runs with some lined skiing spread over the different areas. Although there isn’t a vast ski area it is well maintained and there is a lot of cross-country skiing for those wanting to try something new. The resort offers family activities with a traditional skittle alley and a great tobogganing run. Add this to the short transfer time and it is the perfect first time resort to get you hooked on the whole ski experience.
Apres Ski: 3/5
