Seefeld region - Tyrol's high plateau
Climbing in the Karwendel and Wetterstein mountains with Olympic flair
Climbing around Seefeld in the Karwendel has been a tradition since 1922. Climbing enthusiasts in Tyrol such as Bernhard Prommer, Reini Scherer and Heinz Zak as well as Bernhard Hangl opened tour after tour. With the Great Wall of China, pioneers redefined sport climbing in Tyrol. But be careful, the topos show rather challenging routes for climbing - hardmovers only! Pleasure climbers should rather visit the wall arch. The south-facing climbing garden offers many routes of medium difficulty. The Flämenwandl climbing area or the new Sonnenplatten climbing garden in Scharnitz are ideal for an exciting family climbing day.
With the founding of the "Mauerfix" Alpine Club group, the Austrian Alpine Club has agreed to take over the maintenance of the climbing gardens around the Seefeld region. Current information on the renovation status and further climbing information can be found on the association's website.

6 tips around the Seefeld region - Tyrol's high plateau
- Cool off in the mountain lake after climbing: the small, up to 11 m deep Möserer See lake at 1,292 m above sea level is located approx. 15 minutes above Mösern, nestled in idyllic forest seclusion in a rocky basin padded with moraine debris. A gem of a mountain lake that is rarely seen anywhere else in Tyrol and can be reached by car from Seefeld in just a few minutes.
- The breathtaking mountain and meadow scenery with crystal-clear mountain lakes and countless alpine huts in the Gaistal alpine paradise invite you to linger. A really special highlight in the Gaistal is the Hochalmen circular hike, where you can hike to 7 huts and mountain pastures in the valley.
- A scenic hiking trail leads to the Wettersteinhütte in the Wetterstein mountains, in the heart of Tyrol. The hut offers culinary delights.
- If you want to get closer to the rock not only by climbing, but also in a scientific way, a trip out of Tyrol to Mittenwald is worthwhile. The Wallgau Geological Circular Hiking Trail presents interesting facts about the formation of the Isar and the Karwendel mountains. The starting point is the valley station of the Kranzbergbahn cable car.
- If you like to relax after climbing, the best places to do so are the Erlebniswelt Alpenbad Leutasch or the Olympiabad Seefeld, both of which are known throughout Tyrol for their special sauna facilities.
- If you can still hold a fishing rod after climbing: With views of the Karwendel and Wetterstein mountains, the Leutasch fishery offers one of the rare opportunities to go fishing in Tyrol.
