SkiWelt Panorama Trail

Ellmau; Going; Scheffau; Söll

Route description

I hike through a varied mountain landscape with lush alpine meadows, glistening mountain lakes and numerous cosy places to stop for refreshments. Along the way, I enjoy regional delicacies and marvellous views. To the north, the imposing Wilder Kaiser and to the south, the main Alpine ridge.

The route is mostly on easy hiking trails, such as meadow and gravel paths. Only a short section is a little more challenging. This allows me to organise the tour flexibly and hike it in different variations.

There are entry points in all four Kaiser villages: Ellmau, Going, Scheffau and Söll. If I want to make the ascent or descent easier, I can use the Wilder Kaiser - Brixental summer mountain railway . With the Bergbahn Erlebnis-Card, I can even use all the cable cars and adventure worlds along the route for an unlimited period of time.

At the end of the hike, the KaiserJet takes me back to my starting point in comfort.
