Seefeld in Tirol
A mountain plateau resort at 1,200 meters, host of the Nordic events at two Winter Olympics, reached by the Mittenwald Railway.
Seefeld lies on a plateau northwest of Innsbruck. The Mittenwald Railway climbs there in a series of curves in about 40 minutes, with views over the Inn Valley along the way. In winter, about 245 km of cross-country ski trails make it a venue for the Nordic events at the 1964 and 1976 Winter Olympics. In summer, take the cable car up to the Rosshütte and Seefelder Spitze for hiking, or stroll around the small Wildsee lake. The pedestrian street in the town center and the 15th-century parish church are worth seeing. It is well suited to a day trip.
