Summer vacations in Tyrol

Clear and fresh mountain air, and vast sunlit pasture fields. This summer break in Seefeld in Tyrol will be a vacation in an incredible natural paradise. Every day the incomparable beauty of the alpine scenery in Leutaschtal Valley reveals a new and fascinating facet.

Nordic walking originally developed as a form of training for professional cross-country skiers. The efficacy of this type of training soon won over a large community of enthusiasts, since it takes people out into the beauty of nature and allows the mind to wander. As is the case with cross-country skiing, it’s most effective and enjoyable in terrain with light gradients. So, obviously, Leutaschtal in Tyrol can guarantee perfect conditions. Nordic walking is ideal for everyone, from professional athletes to far less athletic visitors. The use of poles allows this style of walking to be a good form of training that also exercises upper-body muscles. At Hotel Kristall we offer free use of special carbon poles to ensure your Nordic walking training is easy on the joints and muscles.

There’s a special attraction to running up on the Seefeld Plateau at any time of day. In the early summer mornings, the air is pleasantly cool on the skin. The beauty of the first rays of sunshine appearing from behind the mountains is a natural spectacle that never ceases to fascinate. Once the highest point of a daytime run has been reached, there are views of areas far into the distance. An evening run along the valley or up the mountain is the perfect way to relax and wind down the day. The dense and broad network of paths and routes in the Leutasch area offers perfect opportunities to embark on longer jogs and mountain runs. Those seeking a sporting challenge should be aware that a number of the best-known running events are staged in the area.

Our Segways are an enjoyable and unusual way of exploring the Leutaschtal countryside. This revolutionary means of transport is an exciting and pleasant way of seeing mountain roads, plateaus and valley floors. Every day, to ensure you find lots of interesting places to visit, we organise guided Segway tours of the Leutaschtal region. Every Wednesday there’s the opportunity to participate in an offroad Segway tour. We ride in a group along the shore of the Weidachsee, through the local forests, and uphill to Oberleutasch. The upper and lower Wiesenweg field route leads through the rift to Kirchplatzl, and along the bank of the Leutascher Ache tributary back to Weidach.
