Vacation in Reith

The cozy mountain village of Reith is located at 1,130 meters above sea level in the southeast of the Seefeld region, directly on the old Roman road at the foot of the mighty Reither Spitze. The spectacular Karwendelbahn connects this idyllic oasis of tranquility with Seefeld, Scharnitz, and the state capital Innsbruck in just a few minutes. Around Reith, a panorama, a cultural, and a wild bee trail invite exploration and discovery, while Reither Spitze and Nördlinger Hütte also offer beautiful hiking trails in the Karwendel Nature Park.

Welcome to Tyrol's high plateau and a warm welcome to Reith!
