Holiday Wilder Kaiser
Excursion destinations & activities in the region
A classic holiday on the Wilder Kaiser naturally means first and foremost a lot of movement to and on the mountain or enjoyable relaxation with a view of the mountain. In between, however, you should certainly take the time to discover new things beyond the edge of the valley or simply explore the special places around the four Kaiser villages of Ellmau, Going, Scheffau and Söll.
Special experiences
| Excursion destination | Description |
|---|---|
| Badesee Going | The Goinger Badesee lake is located right on the edge of the forest with a panoramic view of the Kaiser Mountains within easy reach. An international jury voted it the most beautiful natural bathing lake in Tyrol - and not just because it is constantly fed by the springs of the Wilder Kaiser. |
| Hintersteinersee in Scheffau | In the middle of the Wilder Kaiser nature reserve, about four kilometres above the village of Scheffau at an altitude of 883 metres, lies the most beautiful and cleanest mountain lake in Tyrol - the Hintersteinersee. With its turquoise-blue water reflecting the rocky peaks of the Kaiser mountains, this lake exerts a constant, tranquil fascination. |
| Ahornsee Söll | ‘Söll refreshes’ in a variety of ways - culinary, physical and fitness-wise. Of course, this includes a dip in the new lake in the centre of the village.Since summer 2012, the Ahornsee lake, which is up to eleven metres deep, has been providing locals and guests with refreshment and fun, for example at the diving tower with ‘Blob’. |
| KaiserBad Ellmau | The Kaiserbad Ellmau rightly deserves its name. It is located right at the foot of the majestic mountains and while you indulge in the hot water jacuzzi bubbles in the sauna pool, you have a magnificent view up to the peaks of Tuxeck and Treffauer. |
| Die Bergdoktor-Praxis | Bergdoktorhaus in Ellmau: The Hinterschnabel farm was first mentioned in the village history around 1694. In 1985, the former mayor of Ellmau, Johann Leitner, took over his mother's farm.Until the Bergdoktor film team became aware of the farm in 2007, the residential wing was empty, partly because it had no electricity. Since the Bergdoktor has been running his film practice there, the former farmhouse parlours have been lovingly renovated and refurbished. |
| Hohe Salve – 1.829 | The Hohe Salve offers a magnificent view of the Wilder Kaiser at 1,829 metres towards Söll. The panoramic location of one of the most beautiful panoramic mountains in Tyrol is a mountain experience in itself. But those who have the Hexenwasser beneath them will not be left wanting at the summit either. The talking giant of the Salven welcomes those arriving at the mountain station. |
| Swarovski Kristallwelten | The Swarovski Crystal Worlds are located just outside Innsbruck in Wattens. Since 1995, the magical realm created by Viennese all-round artist André Heller has cast a spell over millions of visitors from all over the world. Step inside the water-spouting giant and be enchanted by the glittering crystals in 14 chambers of wonder. |
| Silberbergwerk Schwaz | The ‘mother of all mines’ promises you an exciting journey into the history of the largest silver mine of the Middle Ages. After entering the mine on the mine railway, an extraordinary underground experience awaits you. |
| Kerzenwelt Brixlegg | Experience the world of handmade candle art up close!Wax museum with valuable wax figures in original size, show production and factory outlet. |
| Museum Tiroler Bauernhöfe | The Museum of Tyrolean Farms in Kramsach gives you a glimpse into the working and living environment of our ancestors. A touch of nostalgia wafts around the farms with their great information about how it was back then. |
| Riedlglas Kufstein | Experience how our glassmakers create a ‘symphony of meaning’ from the versatile material glass. There is also a shop and an outlet. |
| Festung Kufstein | Once built as a mighty defence fortress, it is now a popular attraction for visitors from all over the world and is regarded as both an imposing landmark and an important cultural highlight. |
| Wildpark Aurach | Hike and relax in unspoilt nature amidst around 200 native and exotic animals on an area of 40 hectares. The highlight is the game feeding at 2.30 pm, a spectacle of nature. |
| Innsbruck | The provincial capital of Innsbruck is a city that has grown historically. Experience sights such as the Golden Roof, the Olympic Museum, the Triumphal Gate and the Alpine Zoo. |
| Salzburg | The city of Mozart on the Salzach is always worth a visit. However, you can't do all the culture and other things on offer there in one day: the birthplace of the famous composer in Getreidegasse, up to the fortress or down to Mirabell Palace and its gardens, wandering through all the museums and squares or the House of Nature. |
| Kitzbühel | The pulse of the town beats loud and strong. Kitzbühel, the number one sports town in the heart of the Alps, combines tradition and lifestyle more charmingly than any other town. The Kitzbühel legend includes not only the unique charm, but also the sporting energy of the town as well as the top hotels and restaurants, making Kitzbühel the prominent hot spot in the Alps. |
