Kaisertal
A high-mountain valley above Kufstein closed to car traffic, reached by climbing hundreds of steps into pastures and mountain huts.
Kaisertal lies northeast of Kufstein, a valley in the Kaiser Mountains closed to tourist vehicles. Visitors climb the Kaiser Trail, a flight of several hundred stone steps, from the parking area at the valley entrance and reach open high-mountain pastures. Along the way are old farmsteads, the small St. Anton Chapel and several mountain hut restaurants, with the rugged northern faces of the Wilder Kaiser rising in the distance. The one-way hike to Hans-Berger Hut takes about 2 to 3 hours. You can make it a same-day round trip or spend the night at the hut. It pairs well with a visit to Kufstein Fortress on the same day. Wear non-slip hiking boots and bring plenty of water.
