01
A cross-country region with a history.
The trails of the Seefeld region link all five villages on the plateau: Seefeld, Leutasch, Mösern/Buchen, Reith and Scharnitz. Most are groomed for both techniques, classic and skating. In 2019 Seefeld hosted the Nordic World Ski Championships for the second time after 1985, and the region also staged the Nordic events of the 1964 and 1976 Winter Olympics.
Leutasch has a tradition of its own: the International Ganghoferlauf has been held here every year since 1968, one of the oldest popular ski races in Austria.

With the guest card, regional buses are free during your stay. The trail day ticket also counts as a bus ticket when you are carrying your skis.
04
Trail ticket and guest card.
You need a ticket for the region's trails, and tickets are checked. The guest card gets you a lower price, and children under 15 ski for free. Tickets are sold online, at machines by the trails and at the tourist offices.
Prices change every season. You will find the current ones on the Seefeld region's website.
05
On the trails early in winter.
In Leutasch, snow from the previous winter is stored and spread on the A2 snowfarming trail along the Leutascher Ache in autumn. That is why the season usually starts from mid-November; the other trails are groomed as soon as there is enough snow. The season normally runs until March.
The trail network lies at around 1,000 to 1,400 metres, and Leutasch itself at 1,136 metres. The trails are groomed daily for classic and skating.
06
Hire equipment, learn the technique.
- Skischule Leutasch at the Nordic centre by the Alpenbad, Weidach: cross-country lessons and hire.
- Sport Norz, Weidach: cross-country shop with hire, right by the trail.
If it is your first time on cross-country skis, start on the flat A10 Weidach.
