Family hikes
Hike around the 3 lakes
Little gems in the Olympiaregion Seefeld
Route: Seefeld – Möserer See Lake – Lottensee Lake – Wildmoos Lake – Seefeld
Walking time: approx. 4 hours
Level of difficulty: easy
Our path, starting from the World Championship tennis hall in Seefeld, takes us via the Möserer Mähder with a short climb toward Mösern. Choose the right hand path at the last crossroads as this takes you past Hotel Kaiserhof, Hotel Olympia and Hubertushof to the Möserer See Lake. This idyllic Lake is a particularly popular destination in the summer for natural lake swimming enthusiasts as it is one of the warmest swimming lakes in Tyrol (entrance free of charge). The small island in the middle of the lake has a particular attraction as it can only be reached by swimming. A walk takes us around the lake (approx. 20 minutes). The ‘Möserer Seestub´n’ Restaurant at the lake is where we will take a comfortable break with a good view of the lake.
After circling the lake, we take a tarmac road by the Hotel Tyrol and walk downhill for a short distance (about 10 minutes) until we reach Gasthof Menthof. From here, we take the Pirschsteig path toward Lottensee Lake. Before entering the forest, a series of benches invite us to enjoy a wonderful view of the Inntal Valley. Shortly before Lottensee Lake, the Pirschsteig joins a tarmac road that we follow for a short while. Soon after, we see the aperiodic waters ahead of us and we have the possibility of stopping at the Lottensse Alpine hut for a meal. We continue on Path no. 2 to the Wildmoos holiday camp and the Wildmoos Alpine Pasture, well-known and loved by guests and locals alike, where there is yet another aperiodic lake to admire. Shortly after the Wildmoos Alpine pasture, the Hörmannweg path leads us to the right, into the forest and back to Seefeld. We also have the possibility of hiking back to Mösern via the Brunschkopf.
If you are hiking with smaller children or a baby buggy we recommend only hiking to Möserer See Lake from Seefeld (approx. 1 1/2 hours) and taking the bus back to Seefeld from the village centre in Mösern. Bus timetables with exact times are available from your information office.
The Ganghoferweg Path into Gaistal Valley
Hiking in the Leutasch Pasture Paradise like Ganghofer used to do.
Route: Salzbachbrücke Bridge car park – Gaistalalm – TillfussalmWalking time: approx. 3 hours
Level of difficulty: easy
Ludwig Ganghofer (1855 – 1920), one of the best-known writers about his native homeland of his time, spent many weeks of the year at his hunting lodge ‘Hubertus’ at the Tillfußalm in the Gaistal Valley, Leutasch. This is where he wrote many novels, including his most famous, entitled ‘Das Schweigen im Walde’ (‘Silence in the
Woods’). Many other personalities from the world of art and culture were his guests here such as Hugo von Hofmannsthal or Richard Strauss. The income from his novels allowed Ganghofer, one of the greatest hunters in the Northern Alps, to lease the Gaistal hunt. Some of the many riding trails that he had laid out can still be seen today.
The popular hiking path to the Ganghofer House was named in his honour and offers both wonderful natural landscape in the Gaistal, Tillfuß and Hämmermoos Pastures and pleasant possibilities to take a break. You can also admire the Ganghofer House, but only from the outside, as there is no public access.
The path begins in the hamlet of Klamm at the Salzbachbrücke Bridge car park. A slight climb at the beginning is followed by an easy path below the Hämmermoosalm (after approx. 45 minutes walk) to the Gaistalalm (a walk of 1 ½ hours). We continue to the Tillfußalm (1 3⁄4 hours), which is located below the hunting lodge. We follow the same route to get back to the starting point at Salzbach car park.
Hikers with an interest in history and culture should also visit the Ganghofer Museum, right next to the church in Leutasch (Kirchplatzl hamlet). This museum gives us an insight into the life and work of Ludwig Ganghofer, the history of Leutasch Village and hunting in Leutasch. Opening times: Monday – Friday 3pm – 5pm, Sunday 2pm – 5pm, Entrance: adults € 3 (discount with the Guest Card), children up to 14 years free of charge
Rosshütte hike with Zirbenweg trail
A panorama hike high above the roofs of Seefeld
Route: Rosshütte Valley Station – Hocheggalm – Kaltwassersee Lake – Panorama restaurant – Rosshütte – Zirbenweg Trail – Rosshütte Mountain StationWalking time: to Hocheggalm approx. 1 ½ hours, from there to the Panorama restaurant approx. 2 hours, the Zirbenweg Trail approx. 20 minutes
Level of difficulty: easy
From Rosshütte Valley Station to the east of Seefeld, we take a forest path to Hocheggalm and on to Kaltwassersee Lake, located only five minutes from the pasture on foot. After admiring the lake, which serves as a water depot for the snow machines in the winter, we continue to the new Rosshütte panorama restaurant. This is also where the Zirbenweg Trail begins. For 20 minutes, this beautiful path leads the hikers high above Seefeld. It is possible to return to Rosshütte Mountain Station from here. It is of course also possible to travel back to the Mountain Station with the funicular railway. Tickets are available directly at the Valley Station.
From the Pfarrhügel to Wildsee Lake
One of the greatest places in Tyrol
Route: Seefeld Information Office – Pfarrhügel – Seefeld Wildsee LakeWalking time: approx. 1 hour
Level of difficulty: easy, possible to go around the lake with a baby buggy
There can be no peace between nations without peace between religions.
There can be no peace between religions without dialogue between religions.
There can be no dialogue between religions without global ethical standards.
Our world cannot survive without global ethics, ethical standards for the world.
Hans Küng
This walk takes about one hour and begins at the Seefeld Information Office. The Seefeld Pfarrhügel is a unique attraction for young and old. This is where Seefeld’s 14 stations of the cross, built in 2000, are located,. They begin at the Seefeld parish church of St. Oswald, just across from the Seefeld Informaton Office, and lead on across the Pfarrhügel, where they end at the stone circle. The last supper is depicted with the help of boulders weighing up to 23 tonnes and placed in a certain star constellation. Based on an idea of author Winfried Werner Linde, this fantastic place at the highest point of the Pfarrhügel was to represent a peaceful meeting point for people from all the world’s religions. Information boards on the Pfarrhügel provide detailed information. The Pfarrhügel is a particular adventure for children – they love to climb onto the large boulders or pick flowers on the heavily vegetated hill or run around while their parents use the time to enjoy the wonder of nature from one of the benches. A cultural walk is on offer for anyone who is interested (every Thursday at 10am, meeting point at the Seefeld Information Office – registration at least one day prior).
From the Pfarrhügel the walk continues to the Seefeld Wildsee Lake, which you can already see from above. We hike down the Pfarrhügel on the side facing the lake and take the path around to the right of the lake. At Café Wildsee we take the left path into a small wood that serves as a playground for friendly squirrels and birds. A nut vending machine gives the children the opportunity to feed the animals and observe them from close by. There is a small children’s playground at the ‘Strandperle’ Restaurant with swings, slides etc. Passing by Hotel Seespitz, we go straight on into the pedestrian zone and back to our starting point at the Seefeld Information Office.
