Seefeld Guide

This resort is also famous for skiing legend Anton ‘Toni’ Seelos, who not only left his mark on the Alpine ski sport, but changed the very character of slalom by introducing the parallel swing. It is thanks to him that the resort became an insider tip for Alpine skiing, sadly he is no longer with us, but his legacy lives on with everyone who visits each year.

For those avid enthusiasts who love to Alpine ski, the sunny slopes of the Tyrol promise great fun for all, from beginners to experts. The Olympiaregion Seefeld boasts 48kms of piste and around 30 cable cars or lifts which are able to take you to the piste of your choice.
