Kaiser Autumn in Ellmau

07 to 17 October 2026

Ellmau’s Kaiserherbst promises a rich array of musical and culinary delights throughout the autumn season. The village presents a diverse programme that’s as vibrant and varied as autumn itself. Savour this special time of year as the leaves turn, the sun’s gentle warmth lifts the spirit, and the golden light of autumn bathes the landscape in a magical glow.

From the rousing sounds of the Ellmau musicians to traditional folk music and impressive live performances high up on the mountain at 1,555 metres above sea level – the programme serves up musical delights to suit every taste. Culinary specialities at the autumn farmers’ markets provide the perfect opportunity to recharge with hearty regional fare while soaking up the seasonal atmosphere.
