On holiday<br />
with your dog<br />
In Tirol dogs have been man’s best friend<br />
for centuries. They’ve worked for farmers<br />
as watchdogs and sheepdogs; they’ve been<br />
a hunter’s indispensable companion; and<br />
mountaineers have used them as rescue<br />
and avalanche dogs. They are man’s faithful<br />
companion, offering protection in everyday<br />
life and in extreme situations on the mountain<br />
and in the snow.<br />
But it’s not only locals but also holidaymakers<br />
who love bringing their four-legged<br />
friends to the Wilder Kaiser. There’s plenty<br />
of room here for dogs to have lots of exercise<br />
in the fresh air and all sorts of oddities<br />
for them to explore and sniff at.<br />
The standard code of conduct for dogs<br />
and their owners applies in Ellmau, Going,<br />
Scheffau and Söll, the four villages in the<br />
Wilder Kaiser region. This code mainly<br />
concerns cleaning up after your dog and<br />
keeping it on a lead in certain areas.<br />
There’s nothing to stop you and your<br />
dog enjoying a carefree holiday. You'll find<br />
all the relevant information on our website.<br />
www.wilderkaiser.info/hund<br />

Joint forest hike through the KaiserWelt leisure park in Scheffau<br />
The region and all its accommodation<br />
providers are quality tested.<br />
With six Mountain Adventure Worlds,<br />
lovingly designed and each with its own<br />
history and fascination, the region’s range<br />
of facilities available to families has no<br />
equal in Tirol. And options on the mountain<br />
are supplemented by a supervised outdoor<br />
family programme five days a week.<br />
The Wilder Kaiser region’s membership<br />
of the Tiroler Familiennester guarantees the<br />
highest educational standards. Families are<br />
also particularly welcome in many of the<br />
region’s businesses. And these businesses<br />
are also thoroughly tested by Tiroler Familiennester,<br />
of course. If a business meets<br />
the quality criteria set by the Tiroler Familiennester,<br />
it becomes a so-called “nest partner”.<br />
The Wilder Kaiser region now has no fewer<br />
than 17 such nest partners. And 10 of them<br />
have been awarded the “6 gold star Familiennester<br />
premium seal of quality” by the<br />
Tiroler Familiennester.<br />
A premium nest partner not only meets<br />
the quality criteria for a family-friendly<br />
business such as light traffic, safe location,<br />
play area and family living units with appropriate<br />
equipment, but also other specific<br />
criteria such as a petting zoo, children's spa<br />
area or adventure playground.<br />
Our childrens' and family programme<br />
as well as the supervisors have also been<br />
checked this year, as every year, by the<br />
Tiroler Familiennester and have again<br />
been awarded the "Certified Childcare" seal<br />
of approval. Special training sessions for<br />
supervisors ensure that each year a new<br />
theme for the fun and games with a strong<br />
emphasis on outdoor activities is devised<br />
and <strong>im</strong>plemented to a high standard.<br />
The mascot Wendelin the Water Flea will<br />
accompany the children through the kids’<br />
programme in <strong>2019</strong>.<br />

For children it’s not always the mountain<br />
hut or summit that’s the point of a hike. It’s<br />
more often the walk itself. This is something<br />
you can experience on one of the<br />
many themed trails in the region such as<br />
the “Rübezahlschnitzweg” sculpture trail or<br />
the “Rehbachklamm” gorge. And somet<strong>im</strong>es<br />
a lovely bathing lake is the reward for a<br />
hike or a great adventure playground with<br />
views of the mountains. We also provide a<br />
few suggested tours for families with even<br />
younger children. The symbol "pushchair<br />
friendly" indicates the trails where pushing<br />
a buggy is no problem. The hikes have<br />
been put together jointly by families and<br />
hiking experts.<br />
The hiking stamp book provides an extra<br />
boost of motivation and the KaiserJet,<br />
Hintersteiner See, Wochenbrunner Alm and<br />
Hüttling / Moor & more hiking buses bring<br />
everyone back safely.<br />

On the Brandstadl near Scheffau in the<br />
“KaiserWelt” leisure park, the Spiele-Kaiser<br />
host invites all his loyal young guests to his<br />
castle. This unique play area gives youngsters<br />
every opportunity to play, jump, cl<strong>im</strong>b<br />
and generally run wild. An activity trail<br />
forms the heart of the “KaiserWelt” leisure<br />
park, but it’s also worth walking through<br />
the enchanted forest and enjoying the views<br />
from the tree houses. And the handicraft<br />
workshop offers the chance to use your<br />
creative skills.<br />
There are lots of family-friendly hiking<br />
trails which make it perfectly easy to explore<br />
the area around the Brandstadl. On<br />
the Jochstub’nweg trail, for example.<br />
Sailors ahoy on the Jochstub’n See lake<br />
In the Tirolean Mountain Adventure<br />
Worlds in the Wilder Kaiser region there’s<br />
a new surprise lurking behind almost every<br />
tree and every hill. So it’s no wonder that<br />
you can even go sailing near the KaiserWelt<br />
leisure park at a height of 1,650 metres. In<br />
fact there’s even a ship anchored on the<br />
Jochstub’n See and a captain inviting you to<br />
go for a cruise on the mountain (free with<br />
valid Mountain Experience-Card or Wilder<br />
Kaiser GuestCard).<br />
With every sort of adventure on land<br />
and sea, the “KaiserWelt” leisure park in<br />
Scheffau is sure to be a great holiday hit!<br />

The Astberg mountain in Going.<br />
“The Kaiser's Mirror” is another name for the stunning<br />
Astbergsee lake. It’s a place to experience the mountains<br />
completely naturally, and not just for families.<br />
Riding or mini golf? Both, of course!<br />
The Wilder Kaiser region has endless options for its<br />
guests to have a great t<strong>im</strong>e with their loved ones.<br />
Going<br />
Horseback<br />
Riding<br />
Even from a distance you can hear a steady<br />
clip clop. Lots of people will already be<br />
familiar with this sound, the clip clop of<br />
horses gently trotting along the bridleway.<br />
Horse lovers can enjoy going for ride in the<br />
majestic scenery, breathing in the air in the<br />
stables or taking riding lessons.<br />
Minigolf<br />
Leisure centre<br />
Franzlhof<br />
The Franzlhof leisure centre has the following<br />
facilities for athletes and amateurs:<br />
tennis courts, squash courts, mini golf<br />
course, Pit-Pat (table mini golf) and sauna<br />
garden. There’s also a café/restaurant with<br />
sun terrace and children’s playground.<br />
The Astberg experience begins in the valley.<br />
You can decide whether to opt for the<br />
classic way to the summit on foot or via<br />
the Astbergbahn chairlift. When you get to<br />
the valley station you’ll see that the pace is<br />
much more relaxed than in other places.<br />
The lift is considered a bit of a rarity as it’s<br />
the only chairlift in the area going straight<br />
from the valley up to the mountain. You get<br />
a sense of freedom as soon as you board.<br />
There’s no cabin to distance you from nature.<br />
You can feel the gentle breeze in your<br />
face and let your feet dangle. Not to forget<br />
the breathtaking mountain panorama. A<br />
true 3D experience – cinema at the heart<br />
of nature. As soon as you reach the summit<br />
your attention is drawn to the peaks<br />
of the Kitzbühel Alps. You can look on in<br />
wonder at the mighty Kitzbüheler Horn<br />
and the Hahnenkamm mountains where<br />
the intrepid professional skiers venture<br />
down the racing piste in winter. The Wilder<br />
Kaiser is reflected in the fresh spring water<br />
of Astbergsee lake. There’s a favourite spot<br />
for everyone on the many swivel loungers<br />
and benches. This is where holidays are just<br />
as they should be. Peaceful, relaxing and<br />
beautiful.<br />
The one-hour Astberg circular walk from<br />
the mountain station/Blattlalm mountain<br />
hut and back via the Brenner Alm mountain<br />
hut is highly recommended.<br />

Even the cool kids forget that they are not so much into<br />
hiking at the Hexenwasser theme park. Winner of the State<br />
Prize for Tourism, Tirol Touristica and theALPS Award!<br />
The Hohe Salve Summit Adventure World.<br />
can be reached by gondola from Hochsöll. The adventure<br />

The Blue Wonder<br />
Marvel – Grasp – Understand<br />
For more than ten years children and adults<br />
have been coming to the Mountain Adventure<br />
World at the Hexenwasser theme park<br />
in Söll and enthusing about the carefully<br />
staged spectacles of nature.<br />
The motto of all six Mountain Adventure<br />
Worlds is ‘back to the origins’. And so<br />
Austria's longest Barefoot Path in the Hexenwasser<br />
theme park in Söll takes you over<br />
grass, bark mulch and rippling water to 60<br />
stations, each offering a complete sensuous<br />
experience. Every day from 11 a.m. to 4:30<br />
p.m. at least 4 stations are supervised, where<br />
you can stop and listen, marvel or think<br />
in your bare feet. The Fire Place and the<br />
Jumping Water are also exciting. There are<br />
lots of things to be tried out: the feeling of<br />
wading up to your knees through the boggy<br />
moor, building locks, putting your head in<br />
the humming stone or getting a note or two<br />
out of the stone harp. In the House of Bees<br />
you can even experience what it feels like to<br />
be a bee in a hive.<br />
In our walk-in cherry you discover how a<br />
delicate cherry twig can grow from a rockhard<br />
kernel. Or how the Salve Church came<br />
from Russia to Söll after the First World<br />
War. The Barefoot Path takes you through<br />
the enchanting cherry garden, an irresistible<br />
spot to spend a quiet moment or two.<br />
Experience an amazing Blue Wonder<br />
When it rains the Blue Wonder is said to<br />
perform miracles. The water amazes you<br />
with every step you take. Whether you’re<br />
observing the current table or whirlpool,<br />
reconstructing the flow of a river or are<br />
fascinated by investigating the droplets or<br />
sand structures formed by the water.<br />

sundial trail takes you round the summit<br />
with the buried "Salvenriesen" giant and<br />
past 15 stations, accompanied by the sounds of<br />
the wind harp. The little Salvenkirchlein, the<br />
highest lying pilgr<strong>im</strong>age church in Austria, sits<br />

Moor & more in Going<br />
and Ellmau Moor.<br />
At the foot of the Wilder Kaiser lie almost forgotten<br />
mountain moors. Experience nature up close.<br />
= FAHRKARTE / BUS TICKET<br />
Going Going Ellmau<br />
The restored moorland landscape links<br />
the experience of unspoiled nature with<br />
an exciting quiz trail in an entertaining<br />
way. Families will find a series of fun play<br />
stations, inviting rest areas and exciting<br />
questions about nature along two adventure<br />
trails. The Törfchen circuit is ideal for<br />
younger children – pushchairs no problem!<br />
The Rocky circuit, however, is somewhat<br />
longer but frequently leads you over<br />
root-covered trails. Equipped with your<br />
own explorer's map and stamp pass (available<br />
at the Information Offices), you start<br />
this family experience directly from the<br />
Hüttling hiking starting point in Going or<br />
from the Römerhof inn in St. Johann. This<br />
“outdoor classroom” was created with a lot<br />
of sensitivity so that people can undertake<br />
their own botanical field trips.<br />
Somewhat off the beaten track, mums and<br />
dads can kick back and enjoy nature here,<br />
too.<br />
There’s a real forest playground near<br />
the Römerhof inn. It’s a place sure to make<br />
younger and older children’s eyes light up<br />
with adventure.<br />
Tip:<br />
The Törfchen circuit is also suitable for pushchairs<br />
– the stations along the exciting quiz<br />
trail playfully lead you through the Wilder<br />
Kaiser landscape and teach you about the<br />
origins of the moors.<br />
Open: From mid-May to end of October<br />

guided family hike we explore the moorland<br />
in a fun way and meet the Ellmau "Koasamandl".<br />
This aboriginal inhabitant shows us<br />
the flora and fauna which live in the moor,<br />
such as carnivorous plants and the hunting<br />
spider. To visit the Biedringer Platte high<br />
plateau from Ellmau we recommend you<br />
join a family hike accompanied by a specially<br />
trained moorland guide held every Friday<br />
in July and August. Along the way up to this<br />
natural oasis you’ll then pick up all sorts of<br />

Hintersteiner See, the cleanest<br />
and most beautiful lake in Tirol,<br />
lies hidden away at the heart<br />
of the Wilder Kaiser nature reserve.<br />
It’s about four kilometres<br />
above the village of Scheffau at<br />
an altitude of 883 metres. This<br />
lake, with its turquoise waters<br />
reflecting the rocky peaks of the<br />
Kaisergebirge mountains, exerts<br />
a constant quiet fascination.<br />
The water in the lake is good<br />
enough to drink, and there’s a<br />
small bathing facility with café<br />
on the southern bank. Hintersteiner<br />
See is an ideal starting<br />
point for hikes and mountain<br />
tours in the south-western foothills<br />
of the Wilder Kaiser. And<br />
the crystal-clear waters of this<br />
jewel of nature are the perfect<br />
spot to cool off when you come<br />

reservoir for snowmaking. “Söll<br />
refreshes” in a variety of ways<br />
- in terms of food and physical<br />
fitness. And a sw<strong>im</strong> in the new<br />
lake near the cable car fits in<br />
perfectly, of course.<br />
Ahornsee lake is up to eleven<br />
metres deep and locals and visitors<br />
alike enjoy cooling off there<br />
and having fun, on the diving<br />
platform for example.<br />
With a surface area of more<br />
than 10,000 m², the<br />
bathing lake is also used in winter<br />
as a snow-making reservoir<br />
for Hochsöll.<br />
Ahornsee lake has four bathing<br />
bridges, a diving platform,<br />
showers, a kiosk as well as a<br />
beach volleyball court and a<br />
children’s play area.<br />

Hiking<br />
l<br />
The striking rock stacks of the Wilder Kaiser<br />
mountains are the region’s landmark. Hiking<br />
trails lead through mountain forests, Alpine<br />
meadows and scree fields studded with mountain<br />
pines to the foot of steep rock walls. The gently<br />
rolling grass hills on the other side are much easier<br />
to hike through thanks to the cable cars, and<br />
boast no less spectacular views.<br />

the huts where you<br />
can enjoy breakfast<br />
on the mountain. It’s<br />
available free in all<br />

Some mountain huts have developed from<br />
mountain farms, many having been owned<br />
by the same family for generations. The<br />
Wilder Kaiser region has a rich mountain<br />
hut tradition, with alpine farming having<br />
been practised for centuries. Even today<br />
local products like cheese are made there<br />
or in the farm in the valley and then served<br />
up in the mountain hut. Call in at the<br />
Steiner-Hochalm mountain hut below the<br />
Scheffauer mountain. Maridi and Peter,<br />
the old landlady and landlord, serve drinks<br />
which you can enjoy to the accompan<strong>im</strong>ent<br />
of heart-felt singing and harp music.<br />
So it’s not only the summits which are an<br />
attractive hiking destination: the mountain<br />
huts along the way are also a great place to<br />
enjoy refreshments and a welcome break.<br />
In the Wilder Kaiser region there are also<br />
three traditional Alpine huts belonging to<br />
the Austrian Alpine Association: Gruttenhütte,<br />
Gaudeamushütte and Ackerlhütte.<br />
Hikers and mountaineers meet here of an<br />
evening for a bite to eat and to use the hut<br />
as a base camp for cl<strong>im</strong>bing tours. There<br />
are also trails with panoramic views on the<br />
grass-covered mountains opposite. These<br />
trails lead to mountain huts, easy to get to<br />
by cable car, which serve refreshments and<br />
offer wonderful views of the Wilder Kaiser.<br />

Seal of Approval<br />
The Wilder Kaiser region is the first Alpine<br />
region to be awarded the Austrian Hiking<br />
Seal of Approval. The "Association for<br />
Quality Assurance for Hiking in Austria"<br />
carried out a meticulous examination of<br />
the four villages, the accommodation and<br />
the hiking trails. The “Magic of Walking" assessed<br />
every aspect of the hiking experience<br />
and the Seal of Approval confirmed that<br />
the Wilder Kaiser region offers “the most<br />
powerful mountain experience in the Alps"<br />
- in scope, variety and <strong>im</strong>pressions. Ellmau,<br />
Going, Scheffau and Söll were each awarded<br />
a certified hiking trail, with each pursuing<br />
its own local philosophy. Söll refreshes; in<br />
Scheffau water plays a major role; in Going<br />
it’s tradition; and Ellmau’s attraction is its<br />
themed hikes. The region is also part of the<br />
102 km 2 Kaisergebirge Nature Reserve. This<br />
extends from a location 480 metres above<br />
sea level all the way to the Ellmauer Halt<br />
summit, the highest in the Wilder Kaiser<br />
region at 2,342 metres.<br />

The Kaiserkrone<br />
The Wilder Kaiser exerts a majestic fascination.<br />
It sits on its throne like a mighty<br />
monolith in its open position above the Söllandl<br />
valley, at once disdainful and inviting,<br />
rugged and gentle. The Kaiserkrone trail is<br />
about 65 kilometres in length and<br />
involves about 5,000 of both altitude gain<br />
and loss. It takes you to the most beautiful<br />
spots and summits with magnificent views<br />
stretching from the Chiemsee lake to the<br />
Grossglockner.<br />
There are good access points to the Kaiserkrone<br />
train from all the villages around the<br />
Kaisergebirge mountains.<br />
Depending on snow conditions, the multiday<br />
tour can be walked in 3 to 5 days from<br />
June to mid-October and you can customise<br />
the five stages to suit you. It’s perfectly possible<br />
to devise attractive variations to the<br />
Kaiserkrone trail. There are lots of different<br />
entry points and exits, many mountain huts<br />
and options for overnight accommodation,<br />
as well as shorter routes and summit cl<strong>im</strong>bs.<br />
Discover the multi-faceted diversity of<br />
the Kaisergebirge Nature Reserve with its<br />
<strong>im</strong>pressive flora and fauna, and <strong>im</strong>merse<br />
yourself in a mountain world steeped in<br />
myth and legend.<br />
Special feature: The Kaiserkrone is<br />
of moderate difficulty throughout. For<br />
experienced cl<strong>im</strong>bers the highlights are<br />

The hike from one mountain hut to another<br />
in three days on the southern side of the<br />
Wilder Kaiser is a shorter variation of the<br />
5-day “Kaiserkrone” circular tour of the<br />
Wilder Kaiser. The route is 33 kilometres<br />
in length with 2,600 metres of altitude<br />
gain (2,700 metres of altitude loss) and<br />
takes you from the bathing lake in Going<br />
via the Obere Regalm, Gruttenhütte and<br />
Steiner-Hochalm mountain huts up to the<br />
Hintersteiner See lake and continues via the<br />
Walleralm and Hinterschiesslingalm mountain<br />
huts and through the Rehbachklamm<br />
gorge back into the valley to Scheffau. The<br />
mountain huts tour is a perfect hike for a<br />
long weekend because the stages aren’t too<br />
demanding and the mountain huts are open<br />
from May, depending on snow conditions.<br />

The route of the Adlerweg, Tirol’s long-distance<br />

the wings of an eagle. The route covers<br />
410 km across the whole of Tirol. The first<br />
three of the 33 stages take you through the<br />
Kaisergebirge mountains from St. Johann<br />
via the Gaudeamushütte mountain hut and<br />
the crystal-clear Hintersteiner See lake to<br />

and surefootedness are prerequisites for<br />
the ascent of all Kaiser summits without<br />
exception, and some can only be reached on<br />
secured paths. It’s the responsibility of each<br />
individual to decide whether to venture<br />
onto these via ferratas with or without a via<br />
ferrata set. A helmet as protection against<br />
rock falls, caused by chamois for example, is<br />
absolutely essential.<br />
In the last few years a few “genuine" via<br />
ferratas have been built. You can and must<br />
secure yourself throughout the cl<strong>im</strong>b with<br />
a via ferrata set. The Klamml via ferrata is<br />
especially popular with visitors and locals.<br />
If you have little or no experience of using<br />
a via ferrata, you should do the tour with a<br />
local mountain guide - as part of the weekly<br />
guest programme or individually.<br />
For all those who want to raise their game<br />
and tackle a summit tour or cross the ridge<br />
to explore beyond, the mountain guide will<br />
select the appropriate tour from hundreds<br />
of possibilities. Because, even though it’s<br />
well-known, there are summits in the Wilder<br />
Kaiser region from where you can enjoy<br />
the views all on your own.<br />
Lovers of cl<strong>im</strong>bing will find plenty to<br />
enjoy in the Wilder Kaiser region. You can<br />
find plenty of options for beginners and<br />
intermediates online or on page 42.<br />
www.wilderkaiser.info/klettern<br />
Everyone who travels the mountains is<br />
exposed to alpine dangers. You can have<br />
every confidence in our state-approved and<br />
experienced mountain guides in the Wilder<br />
Kaiser region.<br />

B: moderately difficult – routes in steeper<br />

C: difficult – very steep exposed terrain,<br />

D: very difficult – vertical, exposed, energy-sapping<br />
E: extremely difficult – Exposed rocky<br />
terrain, often overhanging, few footholds,<br />
mostly only secured with ropes,<br />
few stepping aids.<br />
The practice via ferrata is just north of<br />
the Gaudeamushütte mountain hut. The<br />
via ferrata, difficulty level B/C and about<br />
50 metres long, lies on the southern side<br />
in a beech forest. It takes about 20 minutes<br />
to get to the via ferrata from the Gaudeamushütte.<br />
You keep following the signs to<br />
“Baumgartenköpfl” and after 15 minutes you<br />
take a fork to the left with signs to the via<br />
ferrata. As you enter the via ferrata at 1,380<br />
metres you’re straight into a overhang. As<br />
you exit you must use the marked exit area.<br />
You must also use the via ferrata ONLY if<br />
you have via ferrata equipment (helmet,<br />
cl<strong>im</strong>bing harness, via ferrata set). This via<br />
ferrata offers a good opportunity to become<br />
familiar with how to manage via ferratas.<br />
On the north side up to the Ellmauer<br />
Halt summit 2,342 m. The starting point<br />
is the Hans-Berger-Haus mountain hut and<br />
the Anton-Karg-Haus (Hinterbärenbad)<br />
is also a possible staging post. The Kaiserschützensteig<br />
via ferrata is of moderate<br />
difficulty (B/C and a few places 1+)<br />
and demands a very high level of fitness.<br />
The descent is either via the Gamsängsteig<br />
trail into the red Rinnscharte on the marked<br />
trail back to the Hans-Berger-Haus. Or<br />
you can cl<strong>im</strong>b the Gamsängsteig via ferrata<br />
heading towards Gruttenhütte hut and then<br />
south to the valley back to Ellmau.<br />
A classic amongst the via ferratas on<br />
the Wilder Kaiser massif. The Kufstein<br />
via ferrata takes you along the north side<br />
of the Wilder Kaiser up to the Unteres<br />
Gamskarköpfl (1,975 m). It is divided into<br />
three sections: across a ledge; a very steep<br />
middle section; and finally a very exposed<br />
crossing leading directly to the summit<br />
of the Unteres Gamskarköpfl. The via ferrata<br />
(difficulty level D) is equipped with very<br />
few iron stirrups. After cl<strong>im</strong>bing for another<br />
hour you reach the Sonneck summit<br />
(2,260 m). After a well deserved break with<br />
a magnificent 360-degree panoramic view,<br />
you can descend across the southern side of<br />
the Wilder Kaiser, past the<br />
Sonnenstein, back down into the valley to<br />
Scheffau.<br />
The via ferrata consists of two sections: a<br />
lower section (difficulty level B/C); and an<br />
upper section (difficulty level C/D). It is<br />
possible to exit after the lower section. A<br />
spectacular two-rope bridge connects the<br />
two sections. Use the via ferrata only if you<br />
have all the right equipment incl. cl<strong>im</strong>bing<br />
helmet (to protect against rock falls).<br />
Approach/Descent:<br />
You set off from the hiking starting point<br />
by the Wochenbrunner Alm mountain hut<br />
(1,085 m) which you get to from Ellmau via<br />
a toll road. From there it’s about a 1 hour<br />
20 minute hike past the Gaudeamushütte<br />
mountain hut to the via ferrata access point.<br />
Completing the via ferrata cl<strong>im</strong>b takes<br />
about an hour, and it’s then about five minutes<br />
to the Gruttenhütte mountain hut.<br />
The Jubiläumssteig trail leads from the<br />
Gruttenhütte mountain hut through<br />
interesting rocky landscapes to the<br />
Kübelkar cirque (or vice versa). This<br />
scenically very beautiful and mainly secured<br />
trail has everything that makes a mountain<br />
tour in the Wilder Kaiser region something<br />
special: fantastic rocky outcrops, beautiful<br />
vantage points and two cosy traditional<br />
mountain shelters. The Jubiläumssteig trail<br />
is ideal for via ferrata beginners as it poses<br />
no great difficulty and is well secured.<br />

Cl<strong>im</strong>bing in the Wilder Kaiser region<br />
Rock cl<strong>im</strong>bing for everyone on one of Austria's most<br />
popular and traditional cl<strong>im</strong>bing mountains.<br />
Above the Gruttenhütte hut<br />
Kreuztörltürme towers<br />
Schleier Waterfall<br />
Cl<strong>im</strong>bing on the Pumprisse route<br />
Wirtskante at the Karlspitze mountain<br />
A major change occurred on the rock<br />
faces of the Wilder Kaiser 40 years ago. The<br />
breakthrough to the 7th difficulty level on<br />
the “Pumprisse” route on the Fleischbank<br />
mountain in 1977 is generally seen as a significant<br />
event in the history of cl<strong>im</strong>bing, not<br />
only in the Wilder Kaiser region.<br />
The Wilder Kaiser is both awe-inspiring<br />
and inviting, on the one hand offering<br />
protection and on other demanding respect.<br />
Famous names of mountains such as the<br />
Totenkirchl, Fleischbank and Predigtstuhl<br />
inspire respect and stir the ambition to face<br />
the physical challenge.<br />
The <strong>im</strong>pressive massif offers countless<br />
opportunities to enjoy the rocks face-toface.<br />
With its numerous summits and different<br />
rock formations of towers, ch<strong>im</strong>neys,<br />
ridges or smooth steep rock faces, cracks,<br />
dihedrals and overhangs, there’s something<br />
for everyone.<br />
There’s plenty to get every cl<strong>im</strong>ber’s<br />
heart beating faster, from easy ridges like<br />
the well-known “Kopftörlgrat ridge” for<br />
beginners, to enjoyable routes for keen<br />
amateurs, and really difficult clean cl<strong>im</strong>bing<br />
routes for professionals.<br />
In addition to the classic Alpine routes<br />
sports cl<strong>im</strong>bers, whether they be beginners<br />
or professionals, can practise in the crags.<br />
On the practice cl<strong>im</strong>bing rocks in the Kaiserklettergarten<br />
near the Gaudeamushütte<br />
mountain hut, beginners and children<br />
can try their first cl<strong>im</strong>bing moves on the<br />
rock and master the technique of securing<br />
themselves.<br />
The Multerkarwand crag, with its<br />
beautiful water grooves and slab routes, and<br />
Wilderer Kanzel crag, boasting a unique<br />
location, offer up plenty of tours of an<br />
intermediate difficulty level.<br />
In contrast, the Achleiten and Schleierwasserfall<br />
crags, the latter one of the most<br />
beautiful cl<strong>im</strong>bing areas in Austria, are best<br />
known for their routes which pose a higher<br />
difficulty level. This is where household<br />
names such as Alexander Huber, Markus<br />
Bendler, Adam Ondra and Roland Hemetzberger<br />
made their names with tours at the<br />
11th difficulty level.<br />
In bad weather the cl<strong>im</strong>bing hall<br />
in Ellmau provides the perfect training<br />
alternative. Its wall is 16 metres in height<br />
has more than 100 routes and even features<br />
two auto belays. Join a taster session as<br />
part of the weekly programme and find out<br />
what “cl<strong>im</strong>bing" is really like. Or set off an<br />
your own tour with one of our experienced<br />
regional mountain guides.<br />

As inviting as the Wilder Kaiser mountain<br />
range is, most of its 40+ summits are deceptively<br />
hard to reach. Mountaineers and<br />
cl<strong>im</strong>bers have been attracted to this mountain<br />
and its unapproachability for centuries.<br />
The breathtaking mountain panorama, the<br />
intriguing rock formations and the wide<br />
variety of differing ascent routes – via<br />
the normal route, trails secured with steel<br />
cables, easy ridge cl<strong>im</strong>bing or classic Alpine<br />
cl<strong>im</strong>bing routes – all offer up the perfect<br />
mountain experience.<br />
Whilst most visitors hike from the valley to<br />
the Alpine pastures and mountain huts or<br />
to the Ellmauer Tor rock saddle, you might<br />
want to go higher. However, if you want<br />
to conquer the summit you’ll need plenty<br />
of experience of mountain tours and easy<br />
cl<strong>im</strong>bs. Or let a state-certified mountain<br />
guide deal with the safety aspects and tour<br />
planning. The trail isn’t easy, but those who<br />
dare penetrate the Kaiser's inner sanctum<br />
will be rewarded with spectacular sections,<br />
endless views and, above all, an overwhelming<br />
sense of triumph.<br />

Pleasure hiking in the<br />
Wilder Kaiser region.<br />
Being active in distinctive natural scenery as<br />
a mental t<strong>im</strong>e out – and enjoying the regional cuisine<br />
in one of the nearly 70 huts.<br />
Ellmau<br />
Scheffau<br />
A break and a treat in Söll<br />
Escape the stress of everyday life, come<br />
to rest and enjoy your environment. You<br />
know you’ve arrived when you drink in the<br />
scenery and enjoy the <strong>im</strong>pressive views of<br />
the Wilder Kaiser.<br />
The pleasure of hiking is offering more<br />
and more people the distance from their<br />
everyday lives that they’re looking for. The<br />
conscious experience of nature and newly<br />
discovered love of movement are valuable<br />
<strong>im</strong>pressions and experiences that you can<br />
take home with you. This nature experience<br />
is often a feast for the senses. Surrounded<br />
by the scent of the alpine herbs and meadows,<br />
the sounds of the native wildlife, interrupted<br />
every now and again by the gurgling<br />
of a mountain stream – it’s not always about<br />
challenging yourself physically – thanks to<br />
the cable cars and lifts, everyone can get up<br />
close and personal with these experiences.<br />
Hiking for pleasure means, above all, enjoying<br />
being active in a way suited to every<br />
fitness level and age. Conscious experience<br />
and seeing new things is writ large in pleasure<br />
hiking. Physical enjoyment, however,<br />
is by no means left out in the Wilder Kaiser<br />
region. Thanks to the almost 70 mountain<br />
huts and inns, you’re ideally placed to treat<br />
yourself. Homemade specialities made from<br />
local products tempt you to dine without<br />
the guilt.<br />
Enjoy nature and food, romantic mountain<br />
pastures, stunning views and unique<br />
attractions. The very best mountain cheeses<br />
and local specialities are just waiting for<br />
you to try them. The Wilder Kaiser region<br />
is a place where easy-going hikes on trails<br />
abounding with views are combined with<br />
the enjoyment of local products.<br />
Get to where<br />

The conscious experience of nature is writ<br />

lifts, everyone can choose whether they<br />

gondola also provides a different panorama<br />
of the unique Wilder Kaiser landscape.<br />

Stone Circle<br />
Just 30 minutes above the Wochenbrunner<br />
Alm hut lies the Ellmau Stone Circle, a natural<br />
self-contained energy field in the form<br />
of a giant mandala. Sensitive people usually<br />
find the right stone for themselves intuitively,<br />
sit down on it and begin to enjoy and<br />
meditate as if it were the most natural thing<br />
in the world. But even less experienced visitors<br />
can feel the power of the stones and the<br />
Wilder Kaiser, and some of them have even<br />
found that the stone circle circular walk<br />
has helped them to clarify their thoughts<br />
and given them energy. Opening yourself<br />
up to this extraordinary stone circle first<br />
and foremost means leaving the everyday<br />
behind whilst surrounded by nature.<br />

Kneipp circuit<br />
Scheffau was the first Kneipp village in<br />
Tirol to <strong>im</strong>plement the teachings of Sebastian<br />
Kneipp, a Bavarian pastor and medical<br />
practitioner, on a unique circular trail.<br />
From the end of May to the middle of October,<br />
next to the idyllic church square with<br />
its Kneipp pool, lawns and stone seats, its<br />
Kneipp circuit takes you through the forest<br />
below the village to surprising, refreshing<br />
and relaxing discoveries.<br />
At the beginning of the walk on the barefoot<br />
path the Kneipp circuit activates your<br />
foot reflex zones with pebbles, stones and<br />
mulch. You then come to the open-air inhalatorium<br />
which gently opens your airways.<br />
The vein steps st<strong>im</strong>ulate your circulation;<br />
the comfortable wooden loungers at the<br />
meditation area encourage you to pause and<br />
relax; and the eagle labyrinth offers new<br />
inspiration to face everyday life.<br />

experience against the backdrop of the<br />
"Wilder Kaiser" massif.<br />

Going arts and crafts market<br />
Old traditions are brought back to life at the<br />
village evenings and the arts and crafts market.<br />
Markets where passing on knowledge is<br />
the top priority, rather than sales. Almost-forgotten<br />
professions and vocations,<br />
rediscovered: pile striking, lace making,<br />
hand weaving and basket weaving.<br />
Neither are the pleasures of eating neglected<br />
here. Regional products, often made<br />
in-house and prepared using old family<br />
recipes, are cooked right in front of the<br />
visitors’ eyes.<br />
Music is as much a part of Tirol as its<br />
mountains. Convivial meetings feature<br />
traditional sounds from harps, dulc<strong>im</strong>ers<br />
and accordions as well as modern influences.<br />
Traditional costume and Schuhplattler<br />
dance groups demonstrate the region’s<br />
traditional dances. As dusk falls, the local<br />
brass bands arrive and show everyone that<br />
brass band music is not boring at all.<br />
Tip:<br />
Leave your car behind and s<strong>im</strong>ply take<br />

Village evenings<br />
The weekly summer evenings in the Wilder<br />
Kaiser region are a tradition. The Ellmau<br />
Summer Night offers live music and a number<br />
of stalls to explore. At the Söll Z’sammkemma<br />
(get-together) event, it’s all about<br />
good food and traditional music. And at the<br />
Scheffau Village Evening it’s the state brass<br />
band and then a live band that set the tone.<br />
GOING live provides excellent outdoor<br />
entertainment with traditional music, but<br />
also some from the past few years.<br />
Tuesday – Ellmau<br />

Market<br />
Experience ancient crafts, tasty country fare<br />

are alive and well in Going am Wilden Kaiser,<br />
and have been for more than 30 years.<br />
The church square with its Baroque church<br />
is one of the most beautiful in Tirol.<br />
On five Friday evenings in the summer it<br />
forms the natural backdrop for the artisan<br />
market where almost forgotten craftsmanship<br />
comes to life again. Artists and farmers<br />
set up their stalls and you can listen to folk<br />
music, learn about all sorts of handicraft<br />
and taste some local specialties.<br />

Eating and drinking well in a cosy atmosphere<br />
are part of any successful holiday<br />
and also whet your appetite for the next<br />
one. Traditional plain fare like Kaspressknödel<br />
cheese dumplings are of course on<br />
the menu as well as haute cuisine in the<br />
Wilder Kaiser region. Plain farmhouse food<br />
such as barley soup or the typical regional<br />
"Brodakrapfen" fried dough pastry are today<br />
enjoying a new popularity, though now<br />
with a bit more refinement. A wide range of<br />
organic products are also produced by local<br />
farmers, cheese makers, schnapps distillers,<br />
beekeepers, herb growers and craft brewers.<br />
A large proportion of Tirol’s milk also<br />
comes from farmers from the Unterland region<br />
around the Wilder Kaiser. The region<br />
is richly endowed with natural resources<br />
and knows how to make the most of them.<br />
Tirolean food and cooking are a fusion of<br />
warm hospitality and healthy nourishment<br />
for body and soul. You can also sample local<br />
delicacies fresh from the saucepan at the<br />
Village Evenings!<br />
Tips:<br />
The Ellmau "Kaiser-Schmarren-Fest” on<br />
1 June <strong>2019</strong> is worth a visit. The Ellmau<br />
innkeepers present lots of new variations<br />
on this popular dish made of flour<br />
- sweet and piquant, traditional or very<br />
different.<br />

As a fine spirit sommelier, Wolfgang<br />
Kaufmann is an ambassador of good taste<br />
and introduces you to the world of spirits<br />
and fine aromas.<br />
The range includes classic fine spirits but<br />
also very special delicacies such as sloe and<br />

for Mountain Gin or Mountain Rum - two<br />
unique creations.<br />
Wolfgang is very happy to let you to look<br />

Story t<strong>im</strong>e at the DorfAlm. Space and protection.<br />
Lots of people have a close association<br />
with the Alpine pastures: the herdsman,<br />
the forester, the hunter and the hiker.<br />
Agriculture is the source of Söll's prosperity<br />
today. For the farmers, the Alpine<br />
pastures have a special meaning because, although<br />
everything up here is steeper, more<br />
barren and more difficult than in the valley,<br />
the farmers know that life in the mountains<br />
is good not only for their spiritual life. The<br />
people of Söll have their roots in the pastures,<br />
on the mountain.<br />
Alpine pasture living is a part of Söll's<br />
art and culture. Passionate people come<br />
together and present <strong>im</strong>ages, read texts<br />
or demonstrate crafts, allowing people to<br />
touch the works created.<br />

The Ellmau Local History Museum<br />
“Be<strong>im</strong> Wegmacher” clearly documents the<br />
village way of life and also Tirolean history<br />
of the last centuries. Originally a house for<br />
miners in the 16th century, it was later used<br />
as a home and workplace for a wainwright,<br />
a master weaver and finally a road repairer.<br />
This turned this s<strong>im</strong>ple house into a home<br />
for various artisans.<br />
The son of the road repairer converted<br />
it into the building we see today in 1898.<br />
The museum’s rooms are faithfully decorated<br />
to old rural customs. Together with<br />
the artisans’ and farmers’ tools plus a rich<br />
collection of items from everyday life, they<br />
provide a comprehensive insight into tradition<br />
and customs.<br />
The Ellmau Local History Museum is<br />
open every Friday afternoon from June to<br />
September, no booking required,<br />
entry: voluntary donations.<br />

Magnificent Wilder Kaiser autumn.<br />
Experience nature and recharge your batteries. Endless<br />
horizons, colourful landscapes, pleasant temperatures<br />
and great deals – so many good reasons to take an<br />
autumn holiday to the Wilder Kaiser.<br />
Working where others go on holiday.<br />
Work and leisure can be perfectly combined in the Wilder<br />
Kaiser region: The range of full and part-t<strong>im</strong>e jobs as well<br />
as seasonal and year-round jobs is large. Maybe there’s<br />
something for you here, too?<br />
Autumn blaze of colour.<br />
Autumn sees pleasantly cool yet still warm<br />
temperatures with long periods of good<br />
weather. This means that getting out and<br />
about in the mountains is of course very<br />
easy and autumn can safely be called the<br />
highlight of the hiking year. The Wilder<br />
Kaiser mountain huts and cable cars are<br />
open until the end of October.<br />
There are some especially interesting offers<br />
for families during the Family Autumn<br />
Weeks from 29 September to the end of<br />
October. All the cable cars and their adven-<br />
ture worlds, plus the KaiserBad Ellmau are<br />
free to use for children up to 15 years of age.<br />
(When purchasing a 3-day hiking pass for<br />
adults).<br />
And there’s always something going on<br />
elsewhere: Whether it's the Almabtrieb<br />
cattle returning, the Alpine Autumn of<br />
Music, the Brass Band Festival or the<br />
Bergdoktor weeks with the big Bergdoktor<br />
Show in October – autumn means<br />
festivals.<br />
And, of course, let’s not forget about the<br />
food with delicacies from the Tirolean<br />
cuisine. Like the Gastronomy<br />
Weeks in Scheffau.<br />

The Wilder Kaiser in his winter finery.<br />
Skiing in one of Austria’s largest ski areas and plenty of<br />
exercise off the slopes. And with the best entertainment<br />
and cosy hut atmosphere.<br />
Skiing with panoramic views<br />
KiKo Söll<br />
Four toboggan runs<br />
Skiing<br />
Childcare<br />
Tobogganing<br />
Sweeping turns on wide slopes make skiing<br />
all the more enjoyable at SkiWelt Wilder<br />
Kaiser-Brixental, one of the largest ski areas<br />
in Austria! Unl<strong>im</strong>ited carving on 284 km of<br />
slopes with panoramic views guaranteed. 90<br />
state-of-the-art cable cars and lifts provide<br />
direct access to the mountain from every<br />
village. And fresh Tirolean fare is served in<br />
the more than 70 rustic ski huts.<br />
All-day childcare, even for the youngest<br />
children, on the mountain and in the valley.<br />
At the Brandstadl summit station you’ll<br />
find the “Snow Pirates Kids Club”, and<br />
with babysitters to hand on the mountain,<br />
parents can set off on a day’s skiing with<br />
no concerns. At the “KiKo Söll" Adventure<br />
Farm the little ones are taken care of right<br />
next to Söll valley station. And there’s also<br />
fun and games in store at Ellmi's Kids Club<br />
in Ellmau by the Hartkaiser mountain.<br />
Off-piste winter fun. The toboggan runs<br />
in Ellmau-Going and Söll are floodlit and<br />
guarantee snow cover though technical<br />
snow making. They can be reached by lift<br />
during the day and also in the evening. The<br />
same applies to the family-friendly Hochsöll<br />
Mondrodelbahn with its adventure stations.<br />
On the Tannbichlkapelle chapel natural toboggan<br />
run in Going you have less company<br />
on the run. Ascent here is on foot only.<br />
Winter fun on 284 kilometres of slopes in SkiWelt Wilder Kaiser-Brixental.<br />
Ice crystals sparkling in the sunshine.<br />
Sweeping turns on wide slopes, freshly<br />
groomed ski runs as far as the skis can<br />
travel. Rustic mountain huts and homemade<br />
Tirolean cuisine to warm the body<br />
and soul. This is skiing in the Wilder Kaiser<br />
region - and with 284 km of slopes, SkiWelt<br />
Wilder Kaiser-Brixental is also one of the<br />
largest ski areas in Austria. Hike unguided<br />
on scenic winter trails, the snow crunching<br />
underfoot. Discover unspoilt, white forests<br />
on snowshoes by the light of the full moon.<br />
Marvel at the landscape from the comfort<br />
of a horse-drawn sleigh, wrapped in a lamb<br />
fleece blanket. Quiet walks by the frozen<br />
lake, squeals of delight on the bends on the<br />
toboggan run both during the day and in<br />
the evening. Friendly get-together with the<br />
guided guest programme. Best all-day childcare<br />
on the mountain and in the valley at<br />
the KiKo Adventure Farm, Ellmi's Kids Club<br />
and the Scheffau Snow Pirates. Cosy village<br />
evenings, a first class ski slope show, ski hut<br />
parties and stylish après-ski - this is what<br />
winter’s like in the Wilder Kaiser region.<br />

Wilder Kaiser region in winter? Then<br />

Winter hiking<br />
The irresistible attraction of the Wilder<br />
Kaiser region for extended winter hiking<br />
lies in its sunny valleys nestling between the<br />
foothills of the Kitzbühel Alps and the gently<br />
rising slopes of the Wilder Kaiser massif.<br />
Particularly <strong>im</strong>pressive is setting out along<br />
glittering snowfields through one of the<br />
most beautiful natural landscapes in Tirol<br />
with more than 125 kilometres of groomed<br />
and well marked winter hiking trails.<br />
Ski hut party t<strong>im</strong>e<br />
Après-ski<br />
A day’s skiing is far from over in when the<br />
cable cars and lifts close in the evening in<br />
the Wilder Kaiser. There’s plenty of revelling<br />
to be had in the ski huts, the après-ski<br />
bars near the valley stations and in the<br />
centres of the villages of the Kaiser region,<br />
often with live music!<br />
Unforgettable moments at night too<br />
Night skiing<br />
In the evening, Hochsöll – the white arena<br />
at the foot of the Hohe Salve mountain –<br />
can be seen lit up from afar. From Wednesday<br />
to Saturday, 10 km of irresistible,<br />
freshly groomed slopes at the largest night<br />
skiing area in Tirol invite you to carve turns<br />
in the floodlit snow. Don’t miss out on<br />
enjoying unforgettable hours of skiing and<br />
tobogganing until late evening. And once<br />
you’ve removed your skis, it’s not far to go<br />
to enjoy some après-ski fun.<br />
