Olympic Games in Seefeld
The Seefeld region has already made history several times in sporting terms. Seefeld has twice hosted the Winter Olympics in the disciplines of cross-country skiing and Nordic combined. The Winter Youth Olympic Games were held here once. The Olympics in Seefeld are therefore almost a tradition. And the Nordic World Ski Championships have also been held in Seefeld twice.
For the first time, the Games were opened with the Olympic flame in Innsbruck in 1964. The Winter Olympics also returned to Innsbruck/Seefeld in 1976 and once again attracted thousands of enthusiastic fans to the region.
Secret Olympic champion
Ski legend Anton „Toni“ Seelos (1911 - 2006) is considered one of the most famous children of the Seefeld region. The Austrian ski racer and ski coach shaped alpine skiing like no other of his time. As a four-time ski world champion, he fundamentally changed the slalom by replacing the traditional stem turn with the parallel turn. Unfortunately, he was denied Olympic success as he was not allowed to compete in the Winter Games as a professional ski instructor. So he only started in Garmisch as a preliminary runner - and was promptly 6 seconds faster than the best runner and Olympic champion!
Nature & culture in the Seefeld region
When it comes to nature and culture, the Seefeld plateau has a wide range of entertainment to offer. Crystal-clear streams, mystical stone circles, the bee nature trail, a historic fortress or the Geisterklamm gorge in Seefeld - there is something for everyone here. Whether it's a day trip or a short break, the sights in Seefeld in Tirol are always worth a visit.
