Hi Guys.
I am off to Seefeld on the 31st January and wondered if anyone had any information which would be helpful. I understand the place is good for beginners, but does it have much for a intermediate?
Also if anyone has any info on the Hotel Larchenhof i would appreciate it.
If i get the info, all i then need to worry about is getting some snow!

I'd love to try the bobsled, I've seen both the igls and St Moritz runs but never had a go, a must before I pop my clogs 8)
Nursery slopes 5 mins from hotel, Gwastankoff, no more than 15mins, the Rosschute may-be 25 mins. But buses run and they are never crowded, we just enjoy the walk. If you fancy the bob sleigh book in either the Crystal or Inghams office, Its quite pricey but well worth it. Even if there is not enough people for a coach the Rep will take you in mini bus.
Apart from a few train trips to Germany and the minibus ride to Igls we have never used any transport, you can well manage by foot. We always walk to the next villages, a good walk with beautiful scenery.

Hi I suppose every-one knows its my fav place to go. Have a look at their web page it will give more detailed info on the slopes.
I love all of their three seperate ski area's. There are the nursery slopes very close to The Larchenoff hotel, this is where ski school is and some of the best instructors I have come across.
Walk to town centre and onto the Gwastankoff, more advanced but ideal for intermediates, lovely slopes beautifully groomed and not to crowded. All the cross country trails start from around here.
Also here is the ski jumping and fantastic eating places.
In the centre is a fabulous pool with a heated outdoor pool that overlooks the village, ice skating and curling.
Walk through the town, up a hill, you can use ski buses, they are really regular, but we never do, this is the Rosschutte, much more advanced, although good for intermediates. Good snow board park good as well, good fast lifts, funicular and fantastic eating holes on top.
For the experienced expert skiers Seefeld slopes would probably not be challenging enough but intermediate, perfect.
There is a train station in Seefeld and half an hour away and the cost of 5eu into Mittenwald, or a further 15mins onto Garmisch/Germany beautiful resort.
From Seefeld you can if you want walk to all of the surrounding villages, all have slopes, great for a change. Leutasch a short bus away, fantastic slopes.
We always stay at the hotel Alpina which is owned by the same people as The Larchenoff and its the best service, food etc I have ever had so I expect the Larchenhof has the same standards.
All in all I love Seefeld. Any-thing else you can think of just ask.
I think this year the Ice festival and the Nordic cup will be on when you are there, great fun.
Also a trip to Igls for bob sleigh run, scary but good fun.

Thanks Rose
I am a intemediate, but the rest of our group are beginners so are all booked into ski school. So the fact the nursery slopes are close is fantastic.
Is it a far walk to Gwastankoff and Rosschute from the hotel?
It sounds perfect for our group and am now really looking forward to going.
Really fancy giving the bobsleigh run a go!
Thanks again Rose
