Serfaus in Tirol
Enjoy the sun terrace
Nature has truly been generous: on a sun-drenched terrace, surrounded by breathtaking mountain scenery, lies the small community of Serfaus in Tirol with its 1,100 inhabitants. At this wonderful place at 1,427 metres, families, food lovers and sports enthusiasts enjoy the unique atmosphere in both summer and winter.
The historic Serfaus
Fancy a little history lesson about Serfaus? Then listen up! In 15 BC the Romans conquered the area in Tirol. Ancient historians referred to the Alpine inhabitants at that time as the “Raeti”. Over the centuries, the Raeti and the Romans intermingled, giving rise to the Rhaeto-Romanic people.
Did you know? Even today, the Rhaeto-Romanic language can be traced in many place, hamlet and field names. From the 6th century onwards, the Bavarii (ancestors of today’s Bavarians, Austrians and South Tyroleans) settled in the region. The beautiful mountain village also occasionally attracted settlers from Wallis. In the 12th century, the Rhaeto-Romanic language was finally completely displaced.

A multifaceted family ski area
For decades, Serfaus-Fiss-Ladis has ranked among the top ski resorts in Europe. In Serfaus, this is due on the one hand to its unbeatable infrastructure. The traffic calming of the village streets allows visitors to breathe freely: no noise, no dirt, no stress. The Serfaus underground takes holidaymakers comfortably from A to B. On the other hand, Serfaus in Tirol offers a wide variety of leisure opportunities for the whole family.
Play paradise for children – summer and winter alike
One thing is certain: boredom is never an option in Serfaus! Little winter sports beginners will have plenty of fun learning to ski in the Murmli Park or the Kinderschneealm. In summer, adventures continue in the Hög Adventure Park or at Georama Lassida. Varied days are also guaranteed at the Murmliwasser, on the Murmliweg and with the Serfauser Sauser.
Serfaus underground
The central transport hub
The underground is the heart of Serfaus. The driverless, cable-propelled air-cushion train runs beneath the Dorfbahnstraße in Serfaus. It connects the car park in the eastern part of the village with the cable car base station in the west of Serfaus. When it was opened in 1985, the heavy traffic in the village became a thing of the past.
With the commissioning of the Serfaus underground, a driving ban was introduced in the municipality. Guests are permitted to drive to their accommodation by car on their day of arrival. During their stay, the use of vehicles within the village (e.g. for shopping trips, trips to the cable car …) is prohibited. Excursions outside Serfaus are permitted. This driving ban applies during both the winter and summer seasons. Checks are carried out by the Serfaus municipal police.
Since summer 2015, there has also been a shared space zone in Serfaus.
