Biberwier | Tiroler Zugspitz Arena

Mining history, water and beavers

Biberwier

The town's namesake beaver, a mining past, glistening mountain and bathing lakes: all this characterises Biberwier - and makes the small village a popular holiday destination in the Tiroler Zugspitz Arena. Swimming in the Blindsee or Mittersee lakes in summer and skiing and snowboarding on the Marienberg in winter - that's what Biberwier is about.

Useful information

Biberwier is situated at 1,000 metres above sea level on the southern edge of the Lermoos basin, close to the source of the Loisach river. The village includes the districts of Rauth and Schmitte, with neighbouring villages Lermoos and Ehrwald. Its idyllic, yet central location makes Biberwier a quiet but well-connected starting point within the Tiroler Zugspitz Arena.

► Village map of Biberwier

The village name goes back to the beavers that lived in large numbers along the mountain streams around Biberwier until about 1800. After a long absence, individual animals have been sighted again since the early 21st century – a small yet meaningful part of the area’s natural history.

Biberwier lies along the historic Via Claudia Augusta and already served as an important waypoint in Roman times. From the Middle Ages until 1921, mining shaped daily life: Galmei, lead and zinc ores were extracted at the Silberleithe, at times in the largest mining operation of the Tiroler Außerfern. Today, the Silberleithen mining trail offers insights into this remarkable past.
