Winter long distance hiking

Winter magic at its best: the most beautiful winter hiking trails around Seefeld

Where can you experience the winter magic from its most beautiful side? Without stress and above all without the demand for top sporting performance? On the winter hiking trails around Seefeld. Between deep snow-covered forests, impressive snow walls and rustic huts, you can hike through the alpine winter worlds and find yourself completely. We have the most beautiful winter hiking trails for you!

Winter hiking: As beautiful as in summer – and yet very different

Anyone who likes to lace up their hiking boots in summer knows the magic of hiking. You move in the great outdoors, enjoy impressive views, spend time with your loved ones and as a reward you can stop for refreshments at an alpine pasture. You can have all that in winter, too – maybe even a little more beautiful, because nothing touches you more than the silence in a deep snow-covered forest, disturbed only by the crunch of your own shoes. The best thing about hiking in winter: you don't need endurance like cross-country skiing, technique like skiing, or a toboggan like ... well, tobogganing. You just need your hiking boots, warm clothes and – in the best case – a hot tea in your luggage. Which winter hiking trails should you not miss this winter? We have the best tips for you!

1. Wildsee, Pfarrhügel & Seekirchl

A must for every winter visitor in the Region Seefeld: This circular walk takes you to the most beautiful spots in the village. Start at the idyllic Wildsee, enjoy the stunning views from the Pfarrhügel, and let yourself be enchanted by the iconic Seekirchl and the festively lit pedestrian zone. Perfect for anyone who wants to soak up the winter atmosphere in Seefeld.

2. 100,000 Lights Trail

The 100,000 Lights Trail in Seefeld is a winter highlight that shines atmospherically in the evening hours from dusk until 10:00 p.m. The circular walk leads through the festively illuminated pedestrian zone, past the christmas tree and advent market. It then continues up to the Pfarrhügel, from where you have a wonderful view of the Wildsee. The walk ends at the Seekirchl, bathed in light – with a large advent wreath glowing on the water in front of it.

3. Gaistalalm

On one side the impressive north walls of the Hohe Munde, on the other the white glittering Wetterstein mountains, in the middle of it all a winter hiking trail covered in deep snow: the Gaistal is a magical place in winter. Anyone who has ever been there in summer knows what beauty lies hidden beneath the snow. But even in the cold season, it is a must-do excursion. The Gaistalalm is a warmly run hut full of tradition and invites you after a hike through the lonely valley to a hot chocolate and many other delicious dishes. The winter hiking trail W12 leads you amidst the sparkling mountain panorama to the Gaistalalm.

This hike combines deep snow-covered forests, impressive views and a really incomparably good stop. Over dreamlike paths you hike through the winter landscape, until suddenly a breathtakingly beautiful view of the Inntal opens up. You can also enjoy this view from the Ropferstub'm. On very cold days, their rustic parlor and the warm oven invite you to a warming refreshment, on mild winter days you can let the sun shine on your face on the sun terrace.

5. Peace Trail

The Peace Trail in Mösern is a contemplative winter hike that moves not only the body but also the mind. The route passes seven spiritual stations around the Möserer See and leads up to the Peace Bell. Weighing 10,450 kilograms, the Peace Bell is one of the largest free-standing bells in the Alps. Every day at 5:00 p.m. it sends out its message – its sound echoing across Tirols Hochplateau and the Inn Valley, reminding us of the values of peace and friendship among the Alpine countries.

The Leutasch Valley is simply a place whose magic is hard to put into words. But you can feel it on the meadow path: it leads past neat, old farms, white meadows and through deeply snow-covered winter forests. Here you can really enjoy the peace and quiet of winter. There are plenty of places to stop for refreshments: the beautiful Kühtaierhof, for example, is highly recommended.

8. To Kaiserstand

An insider tip for winter hikers: the Kaiserstand and its cozy resting bench is hidden above Reith and is a dreamlike tour. The winter forests are fabulous and you mostly trudge completely alone through the glittering landscape. With every meter you cover, the views also become even more breathtaking. Tip: After the tour you can fortify yourself again in the inns in Reith. Especially good: The Gasthof Hirschen, the Bertas im Weissen Rössl and the Hotel Reitherhof. For on the way you can take a thermos flask with hot tea to have a rest on the Bankl and make yourself comfortable in the sun.

An authentic winter experience for anyone who loves rural life and regional specialties.

The Katzenloch is a real insider tip among winter hiking trails. The path leads through an enchanting winter forest, where you can find a lot of peace far away from everyday life. The stop for refreshments also makes everyone happy: in the Ropferstub'm there is really delicious Tyrolean cuisine and a rustic inn where you like to stay longer.

11. Winter circular hike with three huts: Mösern – Lottensee – Wildmoosalm

This beautiful winter hike is a must if you are looking for secluded winter landscapes and picturesque views. The circular hike leads eleven kilometers and without any notable climbs through the deep snow-covered forests around the Brunschkopf. On the way you visit three huts: the Wildmoosalm, Lottenseehütte and the Möserer Seestub'n. If you can't decide, it's best to stop at all of them – you can never have enough hot chocolate and apple strudel, especially on cold days! By the way: you can also start from Seefeld, so the hike will be longer by another wonderful half hour or two kilometers through the winter forest.

Good to know: Winter hiking around Seefeld

Have you found your winter hiking trails? Then you're ready to go! By the way, our winter hiking trails are groomed all winter long. You can always find all the information in the snow report.
