Solstice bonfires at the Wilder Kaiser

Name: Solstice bonfires at the Wilder Kaiser
Start: 2026-06-20T21:30:00
End: 2026-06-20T21:30:00

When the longest day meets the shortest night, traditional fires are lit around the Wilder Kaiser. The impressive solstice fires on the mountain peaks are deeply rooted in alpine customs and offer a delightful experience amidst nature. A special highlight: On this evening, the mountain lifts in Ellmau, Scheffau, and Söll are open longer – so you can comfortably admire the magical play of lights from above.

A campfire at night emits warm light. Two people stand close together and watch the fire.

The mountains are marked with fire in the twilight. A large cross shines on the hillside.
