Hiking in the Kitzbühel Alps

Free of charge, but never for nothing

Take advantage of our free programme of walks, which changes every week, and explore the wonderful scenery around the Wilder Kaiser on a guided walk. In summer, there is also another highlight for mountain lovers – the weekly hike to the Stangl-Alm at the "Wilden Kaiser". If you want to get up high without too much effort, then with the help of the excellent network of Kitzbühel cable cars, you can be at your own summit meeting in just a few minutes. For a new culinary outlook, don't forget the many mountain huts and farms in the region too.

For bold mountaineers

Conquer the Wilder Kaiser

The jagged peaks and steep cliff faces of the Wilder Kaiser have held a fascinating appeal for mountaineers since the earliest days of alpine climbing in the early 1920s.

Hans Dülfer, Hermann Buhl, Adolf Göttner, Reinhard Karl, Helmut None, Stefan Glowacz, the Huber brothers and many other sporting and climbing legends have all helped to keep alive the mystique of the Wilder Kaiser. Consequently, the "Emperor's Mountain" today is very highly rated on the climbing scene.
