Das historische Serfaus

Lust auf ein wenig Geschichtskunde rund um Serfaus? Na dann aufgepasst! Die Römer eroberten im Jahr 15 vor Christus das Gebiet in Tirol. Die antiken Geschichtsschreiber bezeichneten die Alpenbewohner damals als „Räter“. Da sich Räter und die Römer im Laufe der Jahrhunderte vermischten, entstand das Volk der Rätoromanen.

Hättest du es gewusst? Bis heute kann man anhand vieler Orts-, Weiler- und Flurnamen die rätoromanische Sprache ablesen. Ab dem 6. Jahrhundert ließen sich die Bajuwaren (die Vorfahren der späteren Bayern, Österreicher und Südtiroler) in der Region nieder. Das schöne Bergdorf lockte vereinzelt auch Waliser an. Im 12. Jahrhundert wurde die rätoromanische Sprache schließlich vollständig verdrängt.

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

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.
