Majestic autumn in the Wilder Kaiser region
A riot of colours, surrounded by glorious Alpine scenery
"Autumn is winter's spring." So said the French painter Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec. You might easily think he had been inspired by autumn on the Wilder Kaiser. After all, the Kaiser autumn in the four villages of the Kaiser region, Ellmau, Going, Scheffau and Söll is like a journey to new worlds: unimaginable experiences, culinary feasts, Mountain Doctor weeks and lots more.
Set off with your friends or family on a journey of discovery through the richly coloured landscape of the Wilder Kaiser in autumn. The fresh mountain air enlivens the spirits, and the golden autumn sunshine gives an extra energy boost for the events we have planned for the Kaiser autumn. Here on the Wilder Kaiser winter's spring has lots to offer!
Full range of accommodation options up to the end of October
Don't the nights get longer in autumn? Yet another reason to live each day to the full! On the Wilder Kaiser lots of places and destinations are open until the end of October. Cable cars, alpine huts or restaurants ... in the Tirolean Alps the holiday season doesn't run out of steam that quickly. So our guests can enjoy the Almabtrieb, when the cattle come back down from the Alpine pastures, the Ellmau Autumn Night and the Brass Band Music Festival&, all of which add variety, local cuisine, and a special atmosphere!
Huts & pastures
Staying on a hearty alpine pasture or a hut with a boarding meal is a lasting memory that you should not miss. The innkeepers offer many traditional homemade delicacies and you simply have to taste the alpine cheese.

The leaves are falling and spirits are rising – there's a lot going on in autumn on the Wilder Kaiser: You'll be tempted by our Family Autumn Weeks, which include a free cable car ticket to get you out into the picture-perfect Alpine world of autumn. The Almabtrieb, when the cattle come back down from the Alpine pastures, and the autumn music festival, with its folk and pop music stars, give everyone – cattle and humans alike – a chance to shake a leg. And if you're a fan of the TV star "The Mountain Doctor" you can meet him in person during our Bergdoktor Weeks.

Autumn walks and hikes
Whether it's spring or autumn, Mother Nature knows how to reveal herself in all her beauty. When the leaves on the Wilder Kaiser are turning from deep red to golden brown and the meadows and pastures are a lush green, there's a glorious panoramic backdrop, perfect for long hikes. And here's a little tip: so that nothing dampens the mood, it's best to choose a walk that keeps you in the sunshine and doesn't venture too high.
Family-friendly hiking trails
The natural environment and national parks of the Wilder Kaiser are so glorious that it would be a pity if they were only accessible to experienced hikers. So there are numerous family-friendly hikes and adventure trails for you to try during your holiday, both in the valley and around the summits of the Kaisergebirge mountains.
Moderately difficult trails
Experience the Wilder Kaiser region on one of its numerous moderately difficult mountain trails. You'll find fabulous views, classic huts and a breathtakingly diverse landscape. We especially recommend the 3-day mountain hut hike along the Kaiserkrone on the south side of the Wilder Kaiser or a convivial day hike in the Kitzbühel Alps.
Difficult trails
In the Wilder Kaiser mountains, difficult trails often have some secured passages and exposed sections! Because of this, it is ESSENTIAL that you are sure-footed and have a good head for heights! You can experience breathtaking summit trails or difficult rope-secured climbs like the Jubiläumssteig trail, with its fascinating landscape.
3-day cottage hike
This tour leads from Going, Hüttling via the Hintersteiner lake to the Walleralm in Scheffau along the route of the Kaiserkrone tour on approx. 33 kilometres and approx. 2,500 altitude metres in the ascent and about 2,600 altitude metres in the descent.
The Kaiserkrone
The five-day hike from cottage to cottage is one of the most beautiful multi-day round tours in Tyrol. It leads mountain hikers once around the impressive massif of the Wilder Kaiser on approx. 65 kilometres and approx. 5,000 altitude metres up and down.
The Eisenkrone
5 via ferratas and 6 summits in 3 days at Wilden Kaiser

Great alternatives for when the weather is not so magnificent
When thinking about classic autumn weather, opinions tend to differ sharply. While some people find autumn wet, grey and foggy, others delight in the blaze of colour, mild temperatures and golden autumn sunshine. In the Alps we incline towards a sunny frame of mind! Thanks to its favourable geographical position, the Wilder Kaiser is in fact a fog free zone. And chilly nights are generally followed by mild days. So the conditions are ideal for prolonging our local summer for a few more days.
But if on occasion the weather doesn't play ball, there are plenty of alternative ways of enjoying what the mountains have to offer.
If you like swimming and saunas, we recommend a day in the KaiserBad. Another sporting option is indoor sport in the local climbing halls. Culture enthusiasts will appreciate highlights such as the Kufstein Fortress or one of the museums in and around the Wilder Kaiser.
