Your ski area in the Wilder Kaiser region!


A panorama like that of the Wilder<br />

Kaiser region is no everyday occurrence.<br />

Every view is an incredibly special moment. Stop and<br />

breathe in the fresh snowy air. Recharge all your senses.<br />

Ice crystals sparkling in the sunshine.<br />

Sweeping turns on wide slopes, freshly<br />

groomed ski runs as far as the skis can travel.<br />

Rustic mountain huts and fresh Tirolean<br />

cuisine to warm the body and soul. That’s<br />

skiing in the Wilder Kaiser region.<br />

Hike unguided on scenic winter trails,<br />

the snow crunching underfoot. Discover<br />

unspoilt, white forests on snowshoes by the<br />

light of the full moon. Marvel at the landscape<br />

from the comfort of a horse-drawn<br />

sleigh, wrapped in a lamb fleece blanket.<br />

Quiet walks by the frozen lake, squeals of<br />

delight on the bends on the toboggan run.<br />

Friendly get-togethers with the expertly<br />

managed guest programme. Cosy village<br />

evenings, skiing show, ski hut parties and<br />

stylish après-ski - this is what winter’s like<br />

in the Wilder Kaiser region.<br />

Always an unforgettable experience!<br />

The Kaiser in his winter finery.<br />

A mountain, a monument in white, wreathed in<br />

clouds. Before it, the towns of Ellmau, Going, Scheffau<br />

and Söll. Like an open air stage in the snow, on which the<br />

Wilder Kaiser region’s winter plays many a unique part.<br />

SkiWelt slopes<br />

The SkiWelt has three speed sections<br />

alongside its many runs. The longest at<br />

600 metres is in Ellmau-Going near the<br />

Almbahn chairlift (98). The Sk<strong>im</strong>ovie<br />

route in Scheffau lets you feel like a racer<br />

on the slalom slope and films you as you<br />

go. SkiWelt tours can be discovered in both<br />

clockwise and anti-clockwise directions.<br />

Action-packed ski night<br />

Ellmau Ski Night<br />

After the last descent into the valley, the fun<br />

on the slopes continues every Monday with<br />

the Ellmau Ski Night. Locals and visitors<br />

meet on the Stanglleit slope in Ellmau from<br />

8:30 p.m. The huge après-ski party, which<br />

features fantastic music, a great atmosphere<br />

and stalls offering warming mulled wine, has<br />

been a firm fixture in the winter events calendar<br />

of the Wilder Kaiser region for years.<br />

Alpeniglu village<br />

Alpeniglu® village<br />

A fairy tale world of ice and snow –<br />

the village of 18 igloos at the Hochbrixen<br />

mountain station, right in the middle of<br />

SkiWelt, can be reached by gondola from<br />

Brixen <strong>im</strong> Thale in 8 minutes or by ski.<br />

The snow village boasts a hotel, a church, a<br />

restaurant, a bar and much more. Spending<br />

the night in a two-person igloo is a very special<br />

experience and puts the perfect finishing<br />

touch on the special dinner (Weds, Sat).<br />

Joyful winter village evening<br />

Scheffau<br />

<strong>Winter</strong> Village Evening<br />

In winter, live bands put you in the party<br />

mood in the music pavilion every Wednesday<br />

evening from 7:00 p.m., while mulled<br />

wine and fresh pastries warm you from the<br />

inside. It’s the perfect setting to enjoy the<br />

winter air under the stars in good company.<br />

Scheffau Village Evenings – when guests<br />

become friends!<br />

Fun parks<br />

Fun and snow parks<br />

Freestylers certainly get their money’s<br />

worth here, too. On skis or on boards, snow<br />

acrobats can get their kicks in the three fun<br />

parks at SkiWelt Wilder Kaiser-Brixental.<br />

Crazy Kangaroo Funpark, Skiparcours<br />

Hans <strong>im</strong> Glück, Snowpark and Funny<br />

Bird Slope in Söll, Intersport Kaiserpark<br />

Ellmau at the Tanzboden downhill run and<br />

Boarder‘s Playground, Mini Playground<br />

and then Big Playground in Westendorf<br />

with Public Pro Park.<br />

Skiing fun even at night<br />

Skiing at night<br />

Every winter, the Wilder Kaiser community<br />

of Söll at the foot of the Hohe Salve is<br />

transformed into a white arena both day<br />

and night (Wed-Sat). The largest night ski<br />

area in Tirol opens 10 kilometres of floodlit<br />

slopes. The longest night-t<strong>im</strong>e slope in<br />

Austria provides unforgettable hours of<br />

skiing until the late evening, its valley run<br />

floodlit until 10:30 p.m. And once you have<br />

removed your skis, it’s not far to go to enjoy<br />

some après-ski fun.<br />

Public transport at Wilder Kaiser. The cable cars are<br />

easily accessible even without a car. The free ski buses<br />

operating in the Wilder Kaiser region provide a quick and<br />

easy way to travel to the cable cars and village centres.<br />

KaiserBad Ellmau. The Wilder Kaiser region even<br />

has something to satisfy water lovers and cl<strong>im</strong>bers in<br />

winter. The KaiserBad Ellmau is the perfect place to have<br />

fun and relax whatever the weather.<br />

Ellmi’s Friends water play area<br />

Cl<strong>im</strong>bing hall<br />

Sauna and spa<br />

Ski bus<br />

Free ski buses bring you quickly and easily<br />

from countless stops in the villages and<br />

every large hotel to the cable car valley<br />

stations. The Going ski bus travels to both<br />

the Astbergbahn lift (Going) and Hartkaiserbahn<br />

lift (Ellmau).<br />

There are many bus services in Ellmau<br />

that take you to the Hartkaiserbahn gondola<br />

lift every 15 minutes. In addition to the ski<br />

buses in Scheffau, there is also a slope from<br />

the village centre to the valley station, and<br />

in Söll, you can ski right up to the village<br />

entrance (roundabout) after the day’s skiing.<br />

Those in the know leave their gear in the<br />

ski depot at the lift so they can get to their<br />

accommodation in comfortable shoes and<br />

without lugging around any bulky equipment.<br />

There’s also a free ski bus for guests<br />

staying near the romantic Hintersteiner See,<br />

high above Scheffau. As the rather narrow<br />

and somet<strong>im</strong>es steep road is often difficult<br />

to drive with a car in winter, the bus will<br />

take you from the lake to the valley and the<br />

Scheffau lift and back again.<br />

<strong>Winter</strong>KaiserJet<br />

NEW: free KaiserJet in winter too!<br />

In 2018/19, the popular „KaiserJet“ regional<br />

bus will shuttle back and forward between<br />

Going, Ellmau, Scheffau and Söll for the first<br />

t<strong>im</strong>e in winter.<br />

The bus will call at the cable car valley<br />

stations, village centres, the KaiserBad (indoor<br />

pool, wellness area, cl<strong>im</strong>bing hall and<br />

indoor tennis court) as well as the winter<br />

hiking and cross-country trails.<br />

The service will be provided using a midibus<br />

with 12 seats and 18 standing places. For this<br />

first winter it might be full at peak t<strong>im</strong>es; in<br />

which case, we apologise for any inconvenience.<br />

The <strong>Winter</strong> KaiserJet can be used free of<br />

charge by locals and guests holding a valid<br />

Wilder Kaiser GuestCard or ski pass. It can<br />

be used with or without ski equipment.<br />

Dogs must wear a muzzle and be kept on a<br />

lead.<br />

Sw<strong>im</strong>ming &<br />

children<br />

At the KaiserBad Ellmau, the Ellmi’s Friends<br />

indoor adventure pool and sauna turn a day at<br />

the pool into fun for all the family. Situated at<br />

the foot of the Wilder Kaiser mountain range<br />

in Tirol, the large complex offers something<br />

for everyone. From the indoor adventure<br />

pool, parents and children can sw<strong>im</strong> directly<br />

into the heated outdoor pool, where the water<br />

is a comfortable 30°C. The Ellmi’s Friends<br />

adventure area is guaranteed to keep children<br />

entertained. The children’s area has been<br />

generously extended to include numerous<br />

fun and play areas. From water cannons and a<br />

witch’s house to a jungle bridge, children will<br />

have a great t<strong>im</strong>e at Ellmi’s Friends.<br />

Sliding fun for the little ones! Few things<br />

are more exciting for children than experiencing<br />

the thrill of slides for the first t<strong>im</strong>e.<br />

With the turbo and children’s slides, crawling<br />

tubes, cl<strong>im</strong>bing frame and net tunnels leading<br />

to the action podium and tipping barrel, there<br />

is more than enough to keep them amused.<br />

At Ellmi’s Friends in the KaiserBad, children<br />

receive a royal welcome.<br />

Cl<strong>im</strong>bing<br />

Anyone who wants to take a break from<br />

the water can work off some energy in the<br />

cl<strong>im</strong>bing hall. Whether you’re a beginner<br />

or seasoned pro looking for somewhere to<br />

train, the newly built indoor cl<strong>im</strong>bing centre<br />

provides the ideal conditions and plenty<br />

of space for you to try out your skills.<br />

The centre provides a cl<strong>im</strong>bing area of<br />

805 m² at a height of up to 16 m and a floor<br />

space of<br />

173 m². It features around 100 routes<br />

varying in difficulty from 3 to 10. Of these<br />

routes, 35 lines can be cl<strong>im</strong>bed s<strong>im</strong>ultaneously.<br />

Safety is of utmost <strong>im</strong>portance to<br />

the centre, which is why it is equipped with<br />

two Toppas safety machines. It also boasts a<br />

small bouldering and warm-up area.<br />

Tennis Centre<br />

The two indoor courts are the perfect place<br />

for tennis lovers.<br />

Spa and sauna<br />

Keeping your body and soul in harmony<br />

with the elements is one way of boosting<br />

health and relaxation. What could be more<br />

pleasant than spending some t<strong>im</strong>e looking<br />

after your own health and well-being in a<br />

completely tranquil environment?<br />

With its panorama sauna made from<br />

stone pine, natural brine steam bath and<br />

herbal steam bath, the spa facilities create<br />

a true haven of relaxation. Made from a<br />

material traditionally used in the Alps, the<br />

unique stone pine panorama sauna releases<br />

a pleasant aroma. By creating a high level<br />

of humidity and heat, the natural brine<br />

steam bath and herbal steam bath clear the<br />

airways, <strong>im</strong>prove circulation and strengthen<br />

your <strong>im</strong>mune system.<br />

The infrared cabins, some with salt mist,<br />

offer deep relaxation and the enlarged log<br />

cabin sauna with its crushed ice machine<br />

is an absolute treat. The relaxation areas,<br />

including the Kaiser terrace, hay barn and<br />

sauna bar, have something for every sauna<br />

aficionado.<br />

Tip: Avoid the busy period between<br />

9 a.m. and 11 a.m. by starting your day of skiing even<br />

earlier – you won’t regret it.<br />

The Wilder Kaiser region is home to a<br />

wealth of skiing and snowboarding specialists.<br />

Newcomers to winter sports can<br />

find the perfect partners to help them carve<br />

their first turns in the snow among the 9<br />

ski schools in the villages of Ellmau, Going,<br />

Scheffau and Söll. Highly qualified ski<br />

instructors draw on decades of experience<br />

and use the latest teaching methods to give<br />

beginners a feel for their chosen sport and<br />

to help them become confident skiers or<br />

snowboarders.<br />

The region’s schools are also on hand<br />

to help anyone returning to the slopes to<br />

quickly get back into the swing of things.<br />

And to help little budding skiers find their<br />

feet and have fun on the snow, all ski<br />

schools in the Wilder Kaiser region run<br />

their own children’s skiing lessons. At the<br />

KinderKaiserland Scheffau children’s ski<br />

school, children as young as two are put on<br />

the right track by learning through play using<br />

the MiniCarver equipment, which does<br />

not require any ski boots. Special practice<br />

slopes and lifts create a “growing slope”,<br />

providing the ideal conditions to accustom<br />

young skiers gently to the sport. From<br />

here, they will soon be ready to ski to their<br />

heart’s content.<br />

A guided snowshoe hike through fresh<br />

powder snow in the picturesque landscape<br />

of the northern Kitzbühel Alps and beneath<br />

the snow-covered slopes of the stunning<br />

Kaisergebirge mountain range is an essential<br />

part of any winter holiday in the region.<br />

Not only does it gently get your circulation<br />

going, it also leaves you with some unforgettable<br />

pictures that last a lifet<strong>im</strong>e. It’s always<br />

the memories you make while out and<br />

You can hire snowshoes from:<br />

small group to explore new paths through<br />

the deep snow (p. 14).<br />

Tip: there are two easy beginner’s circuits<br />

in Ellmau and Scheffau, perfect for trying<br />

out snowshoe hiking. If you want yet more<br />

extra-special experiences, why not try full<br />

moon showshoe hiking or the weekly evening<br />

guided snowshoe hike in Going?<br />

For your safety<br />

Whatever the weather, avalanche danger<br />

level and snow conditions: solo snowshoe<br />

hiking is at your own risk. A guided snowshoe<br />

hike is a safer and also often more<br />

attractive option – find out more in the<br />

guest programme brochure.<br />

The right equipment<br />

Appropriate snowshoes for your weight<br />

and height are necessary in addition to your<br />

usual winter gear (see p. 15). Sturdy boots or<br />

Tobogganing – off-piste winter fun! Family-friendly<br />

n<br />

toboggan runs are just the place to build up some<br />

speed and put the finishing touch on your winter holiday in<br />

the Wilder Kaiser mountains. There’s fun and excitement<br />

at every turn!<br />

1<br />

n<br />

Astberg<br />

A mountain with lots of<br />

tobogganing options and<br />

excellent places to take a<br />

break.<br />

The Wilder Kaiser region has long been a<br />

popular place for tobogganing thanks to its<br />

natural toboggan runs. More than 12 km of<br />

toboggan routes divided into four toboggan<br />

runs, some of which may be covered in<br />

artificial snow, ensure you can truly get up to<br />

speed. Toboggan fans can really get into the<br />

swing of things in the Wilder Kaiser mountains<br />

– on romantic runs on forest paths like<br />

the Tannbichl run in Going, or the moderately<br />

challenging Astberg run towards Ellmau<br />

and Going. Little scenes are set up along the<br />

Hexenritt run in Söll to surprise you along<br />

the way and the Söll Mondrodelbahn moonlight<br />

toboggan run is ideal for families as it is<br />

8 metres wide and boasts 4 discovery points.<br />

Ellmau Going<br />

If you want to spend a relaxing evening in<br />

a mountain hut, the illuminated Astberg<br />

toboggan run will get you back safe and<br />

sound to the valley until midnight, or the<br />

Hexenritt until 2 a.m.!<br />

The starting point for an uphill hike with<br />

your toboggan is at the Ellmau Parish<br />

Church. From there, follow the road towards<br />

the Brenner Alm mountain hut until<br />

you come to Hausberg mountain. The easier<br />

option is to catch the Astbergbahn chairlift<br />

or take a taxi up the mountain. One at the<br />

top, you can grab a bite in one of the huts in<br />

the area and then zoom down the fast, 4.5<br />

kilometre toboggan run.<br />

A fork in the run about two-thirds of the<br />

way down gives you the choice between<br />

going right towards Going and the Astbergbahn<br />

chairlift valley station, or left to<br />

the Hotel der Bär in Ellmau. Hop on your<br />

toboggan and enjoy an exhilarating winter<br />

day in snow-covered nature – day or night,<br />

fun is always guaranteed!<br />

Hohe Salve mountain starts just beneath the<br />

a fantastic course through the forest and<br />

truly lives up to its name. You need a bit of<br />

and lean properly into the bends. The 3.8<br />

at the Söll cable car valley station. Some<br />

surprises. The toboggan run is equipped<br />

with a permanent snow-making system.<br />

From Wednesday to Saturday, you can take<br />

the cable car to the start of the course until<br />

9:30 p.m. And anyone who wants to spend<br />

a bit longer in a mountain hut at the top has<br />

until 1:00 a.m. to safely descend the mountain<br />

under the floodlights. So give your<br />

sledge a push start, jump on and off you go!<br />

It’s as if the gentle hills of the Söllandl valley<br />

at the foot of the Wilder Kaiser region were<br />

made for cross-country skiing. Beginners<br />

and advanced skiers have plenty of routes to<br />

explore on the more than 60 kilometres of<br />

perfectly prepared trails on the sun-drenched<br />

plains between the four villages of the Kaiser<br />

region – Going, Ellmau, Scheffau and Söll.<br />

Whether you are looking to follow the classic<br />

technique and slide through the winter landscape<br />

or take on the more fast-paced skating<br />

technique, the interconnected trails in the<br />

four villages mean that cross-country skiing<br />

in the valleys of the Wilder Kaiser region<br />

virtually knows no bounds. What’s more, the<br />

famous mountain range provides a spectacular<br />

backdrop to all the tracks. And once<br />

you’ve gained momentum, you’ll find your<br />

skis going at good speed in the valley!<br />

Please observe the FIS trail rules displayed<br />

and pay attention to the signs put up on all<br />

cross-country trails and at the start of the trails.<br />
