Heiterwang am See

In winter, Heiterwang am See is known above all for its many kilometres of sunny and snow-sure cross-country ski trails thanks to its location in a wide valley basin. Snowshoe hikes through the unspoilt Tyrolean winter landscape are also particularly popular.

Attention skiers and snowboarders: Thanks to the proximity to the region's seven ski areas, there is plenty of fun to be had on the slopes.  The small but excellent Karlift also offers fun on the slopes right in the village! Holidaymakers will also find the Berwang-Bichlbach ski arena a varied option very close by.

Skiing with the whole family? That's possible in wintry Heiterwang am See at the Karlift right in the village. The child-friendly lift system is great fun for young and old. Take a well-earned break in the cosy ski hut (Karliftstüberl). Alternatively, the Berwang-Bichlbach ski arena is not far away. How about a winter hike with the whole family? A very special highlight is the digital adventure trail "Treasure Hunt with Finn", which is also accessible in winter.

What could be better on a hot summer's day than cooling off in a mountain lake? Lake Heiterwanger See is ideal for swimming, stand-up paddling, boating and fishing (licence required!). A boat trip across the lake is also an absolute highlight. The running and Nordic walking route around Lake Heiterwang offers another sporting alternative and great views. Heiterwang is also an ideal starting point for bike tours.

Families appreciate the leisure activities on Lake Heiterwanger See. A boat trip, swimming, stand-up paddling or a visit to the boat hire centre: thanks to the varied selection of activities on the lake and on the water, there's never a dull moment. And the playground at the Fischer am See boat station invites the youngest holidaymakers to really let off steam. Another special highlight is the digital adventure trail "Treasure Hunt with Finn".

Culture lovers will certainly want to find out more about the eventful history of the parish church "Unsere Liebe Frau Mariä Himmelfahrt" in Heiterwang am See. The former chapel was first mentioned in a document in 1423 as the Church of Our Lady. It is assumed that the church was built between 1480 and 1490 by Hans Räffl. Large parts then fell victim to the Schmalkaldic War, but the nave was rebuilt in the 16th century. This was followed by complete restorations around 1750 and in the 20th century. Lake Heiterwanger See itself is of course also well worth a visit.
