Gastronomy Seebenalm, hut

Idyllic alpine farming at one of the most beautiful places in Tyrol. Mountain lake included.

Description

The Seebenalm is located at the end of the idyllic Gaistal valley at 1,575 metres above sea level. The mountain lake, which is only a few minutes' walk from the active alpine pasture, was recently voted one of the most beautiful places in Tyrol and is also welcome for a refreshing dip in summer. After a delicious stop on the sun terrace of the new rebuilt Seebenalm, you can relax comfortably on the shore and admire the reflection of the imposing Alpine scenery. With a view of the iconic Zugspitze, host Florian serves all kinds of Tyrolean delicacies and a variety of freshly tapped refreshments at the family-friendly alpine hut during the summer months. From the Seebenalm there are numerous tours into the surrounding countryside.
