Going description

The imposing peaks and dramatic faces of the Wilder Kaiser loom up in front of Going in a bizarre, yet stunning way. Situated around the village is one of the loveliest and most diverse hiking and climbing areas in Austria. Idyllic hiking trails snaking through enchanting countryside guide you along close to the valley as far as St. Johann in Tirol or Ellmau. Cycle and mountain bike tours are superbly linked up across the entire region.

 

Gateway to the fantastic SkiWelt Wilder Kaiser-Brixental. Are you ready to discover Austria´s most extensive inter-connected ski area? 279 km of slopes, 210km of which with snow-making facilities, 91 lifts and more than 70 on-mountain inns and huts.

 

Year after year, many VIPs meet up in Going to tuck into something wholesome and replenish their energy at the Stanglwirt hotel. However, Going has so much more to offer too. There are, for example the traditional handicrafts and art markets, where you can observe how a tuft of hair from a chamois is turned into a traditional hat decoration, or how an elaborate figure is tenderly crafted from a wooden log. Of course there are all the customary forms of entertainment and plenty of specialities from granny’s cookbook too. And because a holiday is not quite a holiday without water you can take advantage of the Going bathing lake, which collects its water from the natural springs on the Wilder Kaiser, and is often considered the prettiest natural bathing lake in all of Tirol. With the longest open-air water slide in the region, a new children’s playground and a beach volleyball court, it won’t be just the kids’ hearts that beat faster.
