Discover Schwoich: Lake, Trails and Regional Experiences

Schwoich is situated on a sunny plateau surrounded by expansive meadows and forests. Bananensee, short cross-country skiing loops, longer hiking stages and regional culinary delights offer a variety of ways to spend your holiday days. If you are looking for a holiday apartment or holiday house, you can use these experiences to decide what kind of stay you would like to plan in Schwoich.

Plateau, Bananensee and E-bike station

Bananensee is Tyrol’s first biotope bathing lake and a distinctive natural landmark in Schwoich. The biotope is fed with crystal-clear drinking water. Directly at Bananensee, the e-bike station has four lockers, each with two power sockets. If you are planning a bike tour, you can therefore mark this location as a specific point of reference for your day’s itinerary.

The sunny plateau, with its meadows and forests, shapes the landscape of the village. Depending on whether you are primarily looking for nature, activity, water or regional specialities, you can give your holiday days different focuses.

Routes for Shorter and Longer Days

For an extended hiking itinerary, Schwoich lies on the fifth daily stage of the EUREGIO Marien-Weg M1. The stage is 21.3 km long, includes 485 metres of elevation gain and takes five hours. The distance, elevation gain and duration provide a clear basis if you would like to include a longer tour in your travel plans.

The two cross-country skiing loops at the Schwoich football pitch are considerably shorter. The SC1 Stöffl Loop is an easy, 2.5 km-long cross-country skiing loop for beginners and starts and ends at the Schwoich football pitch. The SC2 Village Loop is easy and flat, 2.4 km long and leads through narrow fields in the centre of Schwoich. It also starts and ends at the Schwoich football pitch. When choosing between the two loops, you can therefore pay particular attention to the difficulty rating, length and flat terrain.

Another option is the hike to Widschwendtalm. It starts in the village centre of Schwoich and takes around two hours. At Widschwendtalm stands a lime tree that is approximately 200 years old. The Walleralm circular tour starts and ends at the Egerbach bus stop. From Kufstein, Regiobus 4902 travels to the Schwoich Egerbach stop, the starting point of this circular tour.

Cultural and Culinary Discoveries

From Egerbach, the Locherer Chapel can be reached on foot in around 20 minutes. It stands at the highest point of the old packhorse and cart track from Kufstein to Haberg via Eiberg. This adds a historic site to the natural attractions and route options. For regional insights, the Feichtner distillery in Schwoich is one of the culinary visitor attractions in the Kufsteinerland region.

Find the Right Accommodation in Schwoich

When looking for accommodation, you can first consider whether short, easy cross-country skiing loops, a longer hiking stage, Bananensee or culinary discoveries should be the main focus. A holiday apartment or holiday house in Schwoich focuses your search on the village itself; which location makes sense for you will then depend on your planned activities and the way you would like to structure your days.
