Hiking in the Wilder Kaiser Region
Hiking trails, hiking tips and mountain tours in the Kaiser Mountains
The striking rock formations of the Kaiser Mountains are the defining landmark of the Wilder Kaiser region in Tyrol. Hiking and mountain trails lead through forested slopes, across alpine meadows, and up through scree fields dotted with mountain pines – all the way to the base of towering rock faces and dramatic peaks.
Across the valley, the gently rolling grassy mountains of the Northern Kitzbühel Alps offer a more relaxed hiking experience. With the help of cable cars and panoramic trails, they’re easily accessible and reward walkers with spectacular views of the Wilder Kaiser’s rugged crown.
Explore the Wilder Kaiser region in Tyrol, Austria, and discover a fascinating and varied landscape on an extensive network of hiking and mountain trails.
