Seefeld Plateau

The Seefeld Plateau runs northwards from the edge of the Inn graben at the Zirler Berg.

The Seefeld Saddle (1,185 m above sea level (AA)), a mountain pass and saddle south of Seefeld, forms a watershed, north of which the plateau drains towards the Isar and south of which it drains into the Inn.

The dominant rocks of the Seefeld Plateaus are Wetterstein limestone and main dolomite with scattered occurrences of bituminous slate.

[1] With around 1.74 million overnight stays per year, evenly divided between winter and summer (as at 2013),[2] tourism is by far the most important economic factor on the Seefeld Plateau.

The Mittenwald Railway also runs across the plateau from north to south, stopping at several stations including Scharnitz, Seefeld and Reith.
