The Ski Resort
The ski area is located directly in the centre of Seefeld. The Geigenbühel mountain has history and tradition, as it is the source of "beautiful skiing". Already in the 1930s Toni Seelos invented the parallel turn here.
Skiers can still feel the nostalgic charm on the 1.5 kilometres of slopes. A 300-metre-long T-bar lift and two magic carpets (30 & 90 metres) transport the skiers.
The Seefeld Ski School is located directly at the ski area, where even the smallest children can gain skiing experience.
Very close by are the "Birkenlifte" with two T-bar lifts and two magic carpets (included in the ski pass).
Interesting facts

Snow Safety & Snowmaking
The ski area is 100% snowed in with the help of four snowmaking systems.
On Mountain Dining
The Geigenbühel snow bar at the foot of the Geigenbühel is a great place to stop after a hard day's skiing. In front of the cosy bar with music there is a campfire from about 4 p.m.
For short breaks and to warm up you are always welcome in the warmth room in the log cabin of the Seefeld ski school.
At the back on the same slope is a rustic restaurant with a sun terrace.
Activities
Fun and activities
On the adventure hill there are some cool activities for the whole family. Snowtubing is a fun way to go downhill through steep curves on the tubing track. A highlight is also snow rafting: Here you slide down into the valley with full speed ahead and a helmsman for safety on a rubber dinghy. There is also a toboggan run for all toboggan lovers. Now you can also take a ride on the snowcat and experience live how the slopes are groomed.
Cross-country skiing
Seefeld is a paradise for cross-country skiing fans. One of the largest cross-country skiing centres in Austria is located in and around Seefeld in Tyrol on a plateau with guaranteed snow. Nordic skiing fans can try over 247.5 kilometres of cross-country trails between the villages of Seefeld, Leutasch, Reith, Mösern, Buchen and Scharnitz.
