Nestling between the Kitzbühel Alps and the Wilder Kaiser Mountains, the Wilder Kaiser is a region which offers not only excellent skiing and snowboarding but also plenty to see and do away from the slopes. A large network of well-maintained winter hiking trails covering 125 kilometres connects the region’s four villages and invites hikers to discover frozen rivers and glistening snowfields. Many of the hikes lead to spectacular vantage points and cosy huts serving traditional food.
