Wilder Kaiser

Anyone who has ever admired the massive rock architecture of the Wilder Kaiser knows why this small mountain range is so popular among hikers and climbers: between the breathtaking walls, edges, and pillars, it is a fantastic place for walking and sightseeing. The Rother hiking guide "Wilder Kaiser" presents 65 varied tours.

The range of tours extends from relaxing walks to nearly via ferrata climbs – both leisure hikers and climbers will find something to enjoy. Comfortable paths lead to tranquil forest lakes and scenic alpine pastures, and finally, the steep and secured Gamsängersteig even takes you up to the highest peak of the Kaiser, the Ellmauer Halt. For those who want to experience the Wilder Kaiser more intensively, a two- or four-day crossing and circumnavigation of the mountain range is recommended.

The hiking area includes the Zahmer and Wilder Kaiser and even extends beyond the mountain range: in the adjacent mountain groups in the Unterinntal and Chiemgau, in the Loferer Steinbergen and the Kitzbühel Alps, one enjoys a magnificent view of the Kaiser Mountains.

Each tour suggestion comes with a reliable description, a detailed map excerpt with the marked route, and an informative elevation profile. With many tips on places to eat and alternative routes, this hiking guide is a practical companion for all tours. Additionally, GPS tracks are available for download.
