Travel guide Kaiser Mountains
The Wild and the Tame Kaiser
Are you looking for suitable accommodation for a
vacation in the mountains in the Kaisergebirge, preferably from a friendly landlord? Here you have numerous accommodations to choose from and can select the individually best offer for your needs. The Kaisergebirge is located in the Eastern Alps in the Austrian state of
Tyrol between St. Johann in Tyrol and Kufstein. The Wild Kaiser and the Tame Kaiser are the two striking and well-known mountain ranges of the massif. Innsbruck Airport is located west of Innsbruck. The city of Innsbruck also has direct train connections to all major and larger cities in Austria. You can also easily reach the northern parts of Tyrol by car, where the Inntal motorway runs.
Holiday accommodation in a unique climate
The weather and climate are perfect for a vacation with the whole family in a holiday home or apartment. Also, check out the offers for a
vacation with a dog in the Kaisergebirge. The climate zones range from the moderate area in the mild and protected Alpine valley on the Inn River to the high Alpine area above an altitude of 2,000 meters. Some mountain peaks in North Tyrol exceed the 3,000-meter mark.
The four culinary Tyrolean elements
When you rent a private holiday home or apartment in the Kaisergebirge, you have the opportunity to get to know the specialties of North Tyrol. Here you will find a whole range of traditional inns. Try typical delights such as Tyrolean bacon dumplings, cheese spaetzle, Tyrolean Gröstl, or Zillertal pastries. The four Tyrolean elements include Knödln, Nudln, Nockn, Plenten (polenta). Tyrol's cuisine has its roots in the peasant cuisine of the 18th and 19th centuries. In general, little meat was processed and used. Italian influences have also shaped the dishes to this day. Other regional specialties still include the ham bacon, the durable bread "Schüttelbrot," or the durable sausages Kaminwurzen.
Fun with snow and water
It is worth conquering one of the largest ski areas in Austria during the family ski weeks, for example. The Wilder Kaiser ski region includes the main mountain range of the SkiWelt Wilder Kaiser-
Brixental. 90 mountain railways and ultra-modern lifts open up a total of 284 kilometers of pistes at an altitude of over 1,800 meters. 81 huts invite you to stop for a break. At the Wilder Kaiser, you can also splash around to your heart's content in bathing lakes and swimming pools. This includes the KaiserBad
Ellmau, which has an indoor pool, a play pond, a Kneipp pool, or a large water slide. The Ahornsee Söll or the Going bathing lake are also popular destinations for the whole family at the foot of the Wilder Kaiser in the Kaisergebirge. Rent a private holiday home or apartment, and you can get started!
Places of longing for active sports enthusiasts and nature lovers
With over 40 peaks, the Wild Kaiser in the Kaisergebirge is an El Dorado for mountaineers and climbers. Here you can experience breathtaking mountain panoramas, impressive rock formations, and various difficulty routes in a fascinating natural environment. But a vacation in a holiday home or apartment has even more highlights in store for you. In the front Kaisertal, a visit to the Antonius Chapel is worthwhile. The imposing fortress attracts visitors to the city center of Kufstein. The Thierberg Chapel near
Kufstein is particularly recommended because of the observation tower. Ambras Castle, rising above the Tyrolean state capital Innsbruck, is considered one of the most beautiful Renaissance castles in Austria. A significant sight is the Europabrücke of the Brenner motorway in the Wipptal. It is Europe's highest pillar bridge with a height of 190 meters above the ground. Numerous hiking and mountain trails also lead through alpine meadows or scree fields. From easy routes suitable for families to medium-difficulty paths and challenging tours to the peaks, there is something for everyone. Numerous routes are also ideal for mountain bikers and cyclists. In winter, holidaymakers particularly like to come to the Wilder Kaiser and Tame Kaiser. Explore the vast ski area or visit the start of the Alpine World Cup season with two giant slaloms on the Rettenbach Glacier in October in
Sölden.
