Welcome

to the Wilder Kaiser

holiday region!

Welcome to winter. Welcome to the Wilder Kaiser region: featuring the

crunch of snow beneath your feet, fresh cold air in your face, and a warming

drink in one of our rustic huts. While keeping a safe distance, this year we’ll

enjoy nature in all its facets more than ever. We’ll enjoy the space and the

freedom to do whatever we feel like. Whether on an extended winter hike,

snowshoeing alone in the forest, cross-country skiing, tobogganing or simply

taking a leisurely stroll through the tranquil Wilder Kaiser villages, we

have compiled all the tours, routes and information worth knowing when it

comes to winter activities in the Wilder Kaiser region.

Did you know that travelling by car is the main cause of CO2 emissions

during winter holidays? We are therefore grateful to each and every guest

who arrives by train. And for everyone else, colleagues from our Holiday

& Leisure Advisory Service will be happy to help you make your next trip

more sustainable.

Explore the winter landscape

of the Wilder Kaiser holiday region

When it comes to outdoor sports, we once again need both more togetherness

and consideration. After all, we have to to share the environment.

To protect nature and its inhabitants, please continue to adhere to

the following points:

Consideration for winter wildlife

Due to food scarcity, wild animals reduce their metabolism in winter and are

hardly able to compensate for energy losses in the event of disturbances. As a

result, please adhere to the following:

• Avoid dusk (when game feed and graze) – it’s better to plan a tour 90 minutes

after sunrise and until 90 minutes before sunset. Night hikes or downhill runs

should be avoided.

• Do not approach within 300 metres of the feeding areas and habitats of wild

animals (observe the restricted zones).

• Always observe animals from a long, safe distance. Never pursue them.

• Be calm and quiet.

Young forests need

your protection

Only healthy young trees are capable

of growing into a strong forest that

protects us from dangers such as

avalanches, mudslides or falling

rocks - skis, snowshoes and careless

behaviour can severely damage young

trees. Therefore, please do not enter

reforested areas and young forest.

4 Routes and tours

Dogs

Dogs are perceived as a threat by wild animals and belong on a leash. Doing so

prevents potential conflicts with other winter sports enthusiasts. In addition,

please use dog waste bags and properly dispose of them in the next available

rubbish bin.

Rubbish

Nature is a precious resource! Rubbish has no place here and must be disposed

of in the designated trash cans! Therefore, please take your waste with you

down into the valley. This will ensure a pristine natural environment when

you next visit.

The secret of getting ahead

is getting started.

Mark Twain

w

Winter hiking

Recharge your batteries against the backdrop

of a sunny, glittering winter landscape. As you

crunch through the snow, pause and breathe in

the crisp winter air, as the relaxing tranquillity

invigorates your senses and clears your mind.

11

SAFE Winter hiking.

Checklists

Tour planning:

• Have you chosen your tour destination

in line with your skills, physical

condition (honest self-assessment)

and the snow conditions? Bear in

mind: During winter many routes

may be inaccessible due to snow!

• Checked the local conditions?

• Thought about orientationand the

risk of avalanches?

• Have you checked the weather

forecast?

Make sure you check the current

local weather conditions!

• Is your time plan realistic? Leave

early – dusk starts around 4 pm

in winter. The risk of avalanches

increases as the day goes on due to

sun and higher temperatures.

• Do you have the right equipment

for the weather and the tour?

• Have you installed the “SOS-EU-

Alp” emergency app on your

smartphone and tested it?

• Do you have accident and rescuecosts

insurance?

Current avalanche report

for Tirol

https://avalanche.report

Possible alpine dangers:

Sudden weather changes, snowfall, wind,

avalanches, fog, ice, sun (risk of avalanches

increases as the day goes on). Every day,

the changing weather conditions affect

the terrain.

You are personally responsible for

assessing at your own discretion whether

a route is safe!

12 Routes and tours | Winter hiking

Tips and advice

for staying safe in the mountains.

Standard equipment for:

• Appropriate outdoor clothing for the

weather and temperature, including

a change of clothes (waterproof

trousers)

• Sturdy winter shoes with good

traction and a quality outsole (waterproof)

• Hiking poles (height-adjustable)

• Sun protection (sunglasses, sun

cream, lip balm)

• Rain and snow protection (rain

jacket/poncho, foldable umbrella,

backpack covering)

• Warm clothing (hat, gloves)

• Food and drink (sufficient liquids –

hot drinks and snacks)

• First aid kit incl. rescue blanket &

head torch

• Mobile phone with a fully charged

battery

• Hiking map, route description and

13

Winter hiking trail-marker system

The winter hiking routes on yellow summer signposts are marked with dark

green arrows and white snowflakes. Along the trails, they are marked by

green signs.

Be careful if you leave the signposted winter hiking routes. In snowy conditions,

the summer hiking trail network and its signs may not be visible, putting you at

risk of becoming disoriented and subject to Alpine hazards.

Winter hiking trail signposting along the summer hiking trail network:

Signposting of the winter hiking

trails along the cross-country ski

trails:

These are dual-use trails – winter

hiking routes or a combined trail

for winter hiking and cross-country

skiing (skating trail).

6

Skiwanderroute Sunnseit: 7,3 km


Hiking time calculation

Rule of thumb for calculating hiking time for winter hikes

(group of 4 to 6 people):

• around 300 metres in altitude per hour for the ascent

• around 500 metres in altitude per hour for the descent

• around 3 horizontal kilometres per hour

The hiking times for the differences in altitude and for the horizontal length are calculated

separately. The value of the smaller walking time is halved and added to the larger value.

Example calculation for an ascent time:

A hiking trail extends over 600 metres in altitude (= 2 hours hiking time) and

9 horizontal kilometres (= 3 hours hiking time). The smaller value is halved.

Walking time for the ascent = 1 hour + 3 hours = 4 hours.

SAFE snowshoe hiking.

Checklists

Tour planning:

• Have you chosen your tour destination

in line with your skills, physical

condition (honest self-assessment),

and the snow conditions? Bear in

mind: During winter many routes

may be inaccessible due to snow!

• Checked the local conditions?

• Thought about orientation and the

risk of avalanches?

• Have you checked the weather

forecast? Make sure you check the

current local weather conditions!

• Is your time plan realistic? Leave

early – dusk starts around 4 pm

in winter. The risk of avalanches

increases as the day goes on due to

sun and higher temperatures.

• Do you have the right equipment

for the weather and the tour?

• Have you installed the “SOS-EU-

Alp” emergency app on

your smartphone and tested it?

• Got accident and rescue costs

insurance?

Equipment:

In addition to your usual winter

hiking equipment (see p. 6), you need

appropriate snowshoes for your

weight and height. Depending on the

route, you may also require an avalanche

transceiver, probe and shovel!

Whatever the weather conditions,

avalanche danger level, snow conditions

and your own familiarity with

the location (orientation), always

bear in mind that all solo snowshoe

hikes are at your own risk!

Söll


From the main car park (just before the valley

station at Stampfanger 21), walk along a forest trail

to the Stampfangerkapelle chapel. From there,

head left along the Stampfangerbach stream up

to Höckenhof/direction Gruberhof farm. At the

Höckenhof farmhouse, hike briefly down and

past the Talern farm in the direction of Köpfing.

Descend cross-country until you arrive back at the

starting point (ideally following the ski tour ascent

tracks or otherwise along the road, as this is better

without snowshoes).

Tip: Alternatively, at the Höckenhof farmhouse,

you can also follow the Bromberg road to the right

further up towards Alpengasthof Gruberhof inn

and treat yourself to a drink or a bite to eat. Walk

back along the trail to the Höckenhof farm to join

the circuit again. The additional detour extends the

total hiking time by about one hour and 15 minutes.

Tobogganing

Family-friendly toboggan runs are just the

place to build up some speed and put the

finishing touch on your winter holiday in

the Wilder Kaiser region. There’s fun and

excitement at every turn!

79

SAFE tobogganing.

Tobogganing is fun for one and all. But tobogganing also involves risks.

Here are a few tips worth knowing before you go.

1. Be considerate of others

Toboggan fans

Behave in such a way that you do

not endanger or harm others.

2. Observe closures and warning

signs

Make sure that the route has been

cleared for tobogganing. Inform

yourself about the course and

condition of the toboggan run.

3. Good equipment matters

For safety reasons, use only quality

toboggans as opposed to plastic

bobs or sledges. Always wear a

helmet and sturdy footwear.

4. Be attentive/careful when

going up

Walk to the right and in single file.

Only cross the toboggan run in

unobstructed spots that allow you

a clear view of the run.

5. Toboggan in a controlled

manner, keep an eye out for

others and maintain a safe

distance

Adjust your speed and style to your

ability, the number of other people,

and the conditions of the toboggan

run, i.e. snow, ice, weather conditions,

etc.

6. Draw attention to yourself

Warn those who are ascending that

you are coming down (loud shouting).

In the dark: wear a headlamp

and reflective clothing.

7. Wait for others in your party at

safe locations

Make sure everyone in your group

is safely together. Never stop in

places where you might cause

bottlenecks or where people ascending

cannot see you.

8. Tobogganing on ski slopes is

dangerous and prohibited

The risk of colliding with Skiers

is high. At night, ice can affect the

quality of the toboggan track.

80 Routes and tours | Tobogganing

Tips and advice


9. No dogs

It is very difficult to keep dogs under

control during the ascent and

descent. Toboggan runs tend to be

narrow, and there is a high risk of

collision with toboggan riders on

their way down.

10. Do not toboggan under the

influence of alcohol or drugs

Intoxicants lower your ability to

react quickly and make you less

able to assess risks accurately.

Important information:

• Daily, weekly and season tickets are

not valid in the evening!

• All toboggan runs are closed for

slope grooming between 5 pm and

6.30 pm!

• For night-time tobogganing, you

can rent toboggans directly from the

valley stations in Going and Söll.

Should a toboggan accident occur:

Make the accident site safe, provide

first aid, and have your ID ready.

up. Once at the top, you'll have the opportunity to

grab a bite to eat at the surrounding huts before

tobogganing down the 4.5-km, fast-paced toboggan

run in about 20–25 minutes. A fork in the run

about two-thirds of the way down gives you the

choice between going right towards Going and the

Astbergbahn chairlift valley station, or left to the

Hotel der Bär in Ellmau. Hop on your toboggan

and enjoy this exhilarating winter experience

through snow-covered nature – day or night, fun

is always guaranteed! The toboggan run is open

daily from 8 am to 4 pm, and in the evening from

four discovery points related to the phases of the

moon, the starry sky and the North Star. Families

in particular can enjoy a safe, fun experience on

this 4-km, easy toboggan run. The track is not reliant

on the moon alone: it is optimally floodlit and

receives both natural and artificial snow. A special

experience awaits for one and all.

The start of this toboggan run on the Hohe Salve

is just below the mountain station of the Hexenwasser

gondola lift. The track features a great route

through the forest and truly lives up to its name.

After all, it takes a bit of courage to really lean

into the curves when thundering down fast-paced

trails. The Hexenritt run (witches' ride) ends after

a little less than three kilometres shortly after the

Stampfanger chapel, above the valley station of the

Söll cable car. A few magic moments along the way

make this track truly memorable. The toboggan

run is equipped with a permanent snow-making

system. From Wednesday to Saturday, you can

take the cable car to the start of the course until

9:30 pm. Those keen to spend a bit longer at a

mountain hut at the top have until 1:00 am to safely

descend via the illuminated track. Ready, set, fun!

Cross-country

skiing

Whether gliding gently or skating fast, during

a cross-country ski tour in the Wilder Kaiser

region you can enjoy not only the scenery but

also fun of winter sports at your own pace.

91

SAFE cross-country skiing.

Cross-country skiing is a healthy nature sport providing great

opportunities for fitness, experiences and community. The following

recommendations are intended to help make cross-country skiing safer,

nature-friendly and conflict-free.

1. Be considerate of others

All cross-country skiers must

ensure that no one is endangered

or harmed by their behaviour.

2. Signage, direction

and technique

Observe all markings and signals

(safety signs). Always use trails and

slopes in the specified direction

and with the specified technique.

3. Track and trail selection

On trails with two or more tracks,

use the right-hand track. Groups

of cross-country skiers must use

the right-hand track in single file.

When free-styling, keep to the

right-hand side of the trail.

4. Overtaking

Overtaking is allowed on the right

or left. The skier in front of you is

not obliged to give way but should

consider doing so if it is safe.

5. Oncoming traffic

When encountering oncoming

skiers, both skiers should stay

right. Cross-country skiers going

downhill have priority.

6. Pole safety

Keep your poles close to your

body when you overtake another

trail user, when you are being

overtaken, and when you pass an

oncoming trail user.

7. Appropriate speed

All cross-country skiers must adapt

their speed and their behaviour

to their own level of ability, the

terrain, the density of traffic and

the current visibility. This is

especially important when going

downhill. Always keep a safe distance

to the skier in front of you.

Always be prepared to drop to the

ground to prevent a collision.

92 Routes and tours | Cross-country skiing

Tips and hints to ensure safety

while cross-country skiing.

8. Avoiding obstructions

Leave the cross-country trail or

slope when taking a break. Clear

the cross-country trail or slope as

quickly as possible after a fall.

9 Provision of aid

All trail users are obliged to help

others in the event of an accident.

10. ID requirements

All participants and witnesses,

whether responsible or not,

must provide their own personal

details in the event of an accident.

They are marked in the colour BLUE.

Moderately difficult trails

Moderately difficult trails extend mainly through undulating terrain. They have

no uphill and downhill sections with inclines of more than 20 % except for some

short sections in open terrain. Downhill sections on classic-style trails may have

bends that force skiers to change direction actively. They are marked in RED.

Difficult trails

Difficult trails have uphill and downhill sections with inclines that exceed the

maximum angles for moderate trails. They are marked in BLACK.

groomed slopes.

115

SAFE ski tours on slopes.

The following recommendations are designed to help make ski tours on

slopes both safe and conflict-free!

1. Observe warnings and local

regulations

2. Respect posted slope closures

Slopes may be closed due to lifethreatening

dangers such as winch

grooming or avalanche blasting.

3. Only ascend at the edge of the

slope and in single file

4. Cross the slope only in clear,

open places and with sufficient

distance to others

5. Make use of freshly groomed

slopes only at the edges

Tracks which freeze overnight

impair the quality of the slopes.

6. In the evening, leave the slopes

at the times specified by the

cable car company

7. Make yourself visible

Use a lamp and reflective clothing

when it is dark or visibility is poor.

8. When ski touring on the slopes,

only use appropriately marked

ascent routes/slopes

9 Do not take your dog on the

slopes

10. Use designated parking

spaces and pay parking fees,

if applicable

skills. With a floor area of 173 m2,

there is 805 m2 of climbing space with

a height of up to 16 metres. The centre

features around 100 routes varying

in difficulty level from 3 to 10. Of

these routes, 35 lines can be climbed

simultaneously. Safety is of utmost

importance, which is why the centre is

equipped with two TOPPAS securing

new spa area is an ideal place for true

relaxation with a stone pine panorama

Tourist tax

Your contribution to service and infrastructure

The tourist tax (also called visitor's tax or local tax) is legally mandated by the state

of Tirol and serves to promote Tirolean tourism. The accommodation provider is

obliged to collect the tourist tax on behalf of the Federal State of Tirol. The greater

part of this tax goes to the Tourismusverband Wilder Kaiser which uses it to finance,

amongst other things, tourism infrastructure, publications, guest relations,

ski and hikers’ buses, and events.

A tourist tax of €2.50 per person per night applies in all four villages in the

Wilder Kaiser holiday region. Persons aged 15 or under at the end of the calendar

year are exempt from the tourist tax.

Hiking with

bus support

With the ski bus, winter hikers or

cross-country skiers can access the

most beautiful and secluded corners

of the Wilder Kaiser region. Locations

such as Scheffau's Hintersteiner

See lake, the Söll Sunnseitweg

route, Ellmau's Bergdoktor practice

and the Schwendt Sonnenplateau

in Going can all be reached with ski

buses. These can easily be combined

with the regular bus service, which

is also free of charge and runs between

Ellmau, Going, Scheffau and

Söll. Another attractive option is to

hike to a neighbouring village and

then return by bus. Savour the calm

side of the Kaiser region and enjoy a

relaxing day in the fresh air – thanks

to the high frequency service you

can end your tour at any time and

return to your accommodation.
