Nature, Adventure and Enjoyment

Gschwandtkopf Seefeld in Summer

Discover the Gschwandtkopf, the local mountain of Seefeld, in its summer splendor – a true paradise for hiking and cycling enthusiasts as well as families. The mountain is located right next to the pedestrian zone and the train station in Seefeld and is also easily accessible from Reither Auland. The cable car with its 4-seater chairlift is available for both hikers and bikers to reach the heights more easily (Note: E-bikes are not allowed). Those who prefer to conquer the ascent under their own power can tackle the trails on foot or by bike.

The Gschwandtkopf offers several cozy dining options such as the Sportalm and the Sonnenalm, which impress with culinary delights. The reservoir at the summit of Gschwandtkopf invites you to relax and marvel. A special highlight are the sunrise & sunset tours on the Gschwandtkopf – an experience you shouldn’t miss. Discover the Gschwandtkopf in summer and let yourself be enchanted by its beauty and diversity.

Guided hike with a spectacular summit finale

The Bergschule Seefeld is the organizing partner of this special tour, relying on experienced mountain guides and true early risers. Every Tuesday at dawn, hiking shoes are laced up, and the ascent to watch the sunrise on the Gschwandtkopf begins. At the top of the mountain, the air is crisp and fresh, and the peaks glow in the first rays of sunlight like liquid gold – the most beautiful treasure of the Alps might have already been found here.
