Holiday in Seefeld in Tyrol
Seefeld at 1,180 meters above sea level is one of the top holiday destinations in the Alps. Located 20km west of Innsbruck and only about 10km from the German border, the location is also ideal in terms of transportation.
Together with the neighboring towns of Leutasch, Mösern, Reith, and Scharnitz, it forms the Olympic region of Seefeld. The popular resort gained international fame as the venue for the Nordic skiing events at the 1964 and 1976 Winter Olympics in Innsbruck. Regular World Cup competitions in Nordic combined events take place here, and in 1985, it even hosted the Nordic Ski World Championships. The well-known Air & Style Snowboard Contest, popular in the snowboarding scene, was also held here from 2000 to 2004.
