See
Visit See for a half‑day ski or walk; in winter allocate a full day for lifts (€41.50 adult) and a 24‑min bus from Landeck (€3.60).
See is a small Alpine town in the Paznaun Valley. In winter the ski area (8 km pistes, 7 lifts) warrants a full day; in summer a few hours of walking, castle and church visits are enough. Most travellers stay one night or use it as a day‑trip base from Landeck or nearby resorts.
