We had a wonderful trip to Austria last fall, largely because of the great advice we got on this forum. Our 3-week trip was spent in St. Gilgen and southern Styria. We felt we didn't have time for Vienna, which we want to correct for our next trip in Sept-Oct.. For hiking we thought Seefeld would be a great base for the first week or so, with lots of hiking opportunities (I'll be 83 then and limited to hikes of 10 km or less). We are thinking of not renting a car this time. Problem is finding reasonable accommodation. We found lovely little family-run hotels with views and breakfast for just over $200 Canadian per night last time but the hotel rates now seem to be astronomical. Lots of affordable options on Airbnb but I would prefer not to use it. So, I guess I would like comfirmation that Seefeld is indeed a good choice (another advantage is that we'll be flying into Munich and it's relatively close by train) and perhaps some hotel recommendations. Thank you!

I found your dates buried in the question - this is for 9 or 10 months out?
I normally book my Seefeld in Tirol fav, the Hotel Eden, a week or two ahead for May or June. Maybe you're too early?
Or are you looking for a particular date when something big is on there or nearby?

We're thinking of mid-Sept through eary October. So, the Seefeld portion would be mid-late September. That's pretty far in the future but I see from this forum that people are already making bookings for the fall. The Hotel Eden looks very tempting but at ca. $350/night is a bit pricey for us.
