The community Serfaus is a well-known winter sports resort in Tyrol. Together with the neighboring communities of Fiss and Ladis, Serfaus is located on a sun terrace at around 1400 m above the Inn Valley.
background
With around 1,100 inhabitants, Serfaus has around 7,500 guest beds.
getting there
From Germany on the A 7 motorway near Füssen:
Drive via Reutte and the Fernpass on federal roads towards Inntal Imst. If you are in a hurry, you can use the Inntal autobahn, which is subject to a 20 km vignette, between Imst and Landeck, including the Landeck bypass tunnel (10-day vignette for cars: € 8.30, as of 01-2012).
Important: Also the Landecker bypass tunnel is without a motorway vignette required. If you use the main road in the Inn Valley and do not have a vignette for the Austrian motorways, you should drive through the town of Landeck. Danger: The official signs to the Reschenpass lead through the tunnel (so don't pay attention and drive straight ahead towards Zams). It is often checked at the tunnel. The 6.5 km long single-tube tunnel was rated good in the 2001 ADAC tunnel test.
Those who generally do not feel comfortable in road tunnels are better off driving through the city of Landeck, which is also ideal for a stopover. Landeck Castle is well worth seeing museum (is more of a castle).
mobility
The village of Serfaus is closed to motor vehicle traffic. Exceptions apply to locals and guests staying in Serfaus. Day visitors must park their car in the parking lot at the entrance to the village and take the Dorfbahn to the cable cars.
The 1280 m long Serfaus village railway As a subway, it connects the large car park at the eastern entrance to the village with the cable cars at the western end of the village. Use of the fully automated train is free. The journey time is 7 minutes.
Operating times: winter season 8 a.m. - 6 p.m. Summer season 9 a.m. - 5:30 p.m.
The stations "Raika" and "Kirche" also open up the long village. So if the area is further away from the cable cars, you can still get to the valley stations quite comfortably. More detailed information about the train (technically a cable-driven air cushion track) can be found in the corresponding Wikipedia article to find.
The Serfaus Dorfbahn has been renewed since April 2017. Detailed information can be found at www.ferienwohnung-serfaus.at/dorfbahn

The bus between the three villages can also be used free of charge. There is also free childcare and free guided mountain hikes.
For "mountain goats" there is an extensive offer for Mountain biking. The mountain railways also transport bicycles in the summer season.
Also Mountain hiking is possible. The mountains are worth seeing despite the ski area.
