Highlights around Seefeld
A remarkable natural landscape awaits you on a tour of the mountains and alpine pastures. Here grow beautiful mountain flowers such as arnica, troll flowers, alpine aster and gentian, which is famous for Austria. At an altitude of up to 2,700 meters you will find edelweiss and auricula. Up to 4,000 meters grows the highest flowering plant in Europe, the glacier buttercup.
And then there is Austria’s diverse fauna. You will meet the alpine marmot in the mountains in groups of up to 20 animals. It is one of the largest rodents in Europe and can cope with the extreme weather conditions in the Alps. You also have the chance to spot an ibex or chamois. In the forest you can find typical wild animals such as deer, foxes, badgers, squirrels and the dormouse. And if you take a look at the sky, you might see a golden eagle or a bearded vulture flying over the mountains.

The mountains let us experience a journey with ourselves!
