On the face of it Seefeld's second mountain has little to attract the diehard skier, but that would be to do the area a serious injustice!

With a vertical of only 300m this puts the Geschwandtkopf on a par and scale with say Glenshee, but beyond that all the comparables end. Why? Because all the runs are north facing so are snow sure through the season, the pistes are all deserted, so very little if any ice and the mountain has two FIS rated race pistes which many national teams train and race on.

Overall, the skiing is best suited to intermediates and beginners but advanced skiers will have a good day here too.

Add to all of this the subline views of the Inn Valley and Seefeld plateau, the high quality and very reasonably priced Sportalm at the bottom, which is perfect for celebrity spotting (we saw Claudia Schiffer there one Sunday!) and the fact that Seefeld is one of the best all-round winter sports resort in the Alps and you have the perfect ingredients for a very enjoyable day or two as an alternative Seefeld's other ski area the Rosshutte.

Recommended in small doses as part of a weeks stay in beautiful Seefeld.
