See is the first village in the Paznaun valley and has its own small ski area, with a cable car reaching about 2,450 metres. Evenings are quiet, and Ischgl's bigger resort is further up the valley.
See is a village of about 1,250 people at the entrance to the Paznaun, at around 1,050 metres. Tourism is the main business here, and roughly 60 per cent of overnight stays fall in winter and 40 per cent in summer. The ski area opened in 1972, the Versing cable car tops out at about 2,450 metres, and the highest ground is in the Kübelgrube cirque. In summer there is a natural lake by the village centre, warmed by underground springs, and the Medrigalm wellness park at around 1,800 metres, reached by cable car, has Kneipp pools and a playground. Our homes sit close together, within a few kilometres around the village. Most are small, for two to four people, and few have a pool. Nightlife means mountain huts, inns, pizzerias and a few bars, not a strip of clubs.
The next village up the Paznaun valley, with its own ski resort, listed after See in the order of the valley's villages.
The valley's best-known ski resort, further up the Paznaun, with the most prominent ski area of the four villages.
The station on the rail line from Innsbruck where you change to the line 260 bus for See Dorf/Bergbahn.
At about 1,800 metres above See, with free Kneipp facilities and a children's playground, reached by cable car.
An 86 metre high Arlberg railway bridge over the Trisanna, west of Landeck at the entrance to the Paznaun.
Innsbruck is about 55 minutes away by car. Without a car, take a train to Landeck-Zams and change to the line 260 bus to See Dorf/Bergbahn, about 1 hour 25 minutes in all. A car helps for shopping and for homes away from the bus route.
Winter is the busier season, with about 60 per cent of overnight stays, and the ski area has been running since 1972. Summer fills the other 40 per cent, with walking and mountain biking routes, the village lake and huts that serve food. On Holy Saturday a watersurf contest at the cable car's middle station has skiers crossing a 15 metre stretch of cold water. Spring and autumn are quieter, so check what is open before you book.
It suits skiers who want a smaller area and a quiet village. See has its own ski area, opened in 1972, with the Versing cable car reaching about 2,450 metres. Ischgl, further up the valley, has the bigger and better-known resort.
Yes, with one change. Take a train from Innsbruck to Landeck-Zams, then the line 260 bus to See Dorf. The trip takes about 1 hour 25 minutes, against about 55 minutes by car.
Yes, a natural lake by the village centre. It was rebuilt in 2011 and is warmed by underground springs, so it works for swimming in summer.
Summer is the smaller season. About 40 per cent of overnight stays fall in summer and 60 per cent in winter, so the village runs on winter trade, with walking, biking and hut meals filling July and August.
It is a contest held on Holy Saturday at the middle station of the See cable cars. Skiers try to cross a 15 metre stretch of cold standing water less than a metre deep, and the event has been held at least twenty times.
