A leisurely circular trail along the sunny side of Ellmau. This is a lovely walk along the picturesque Kaiserloipe with views of the majestic mountains. An easy hike for the whole family.
This flat winter hiking route at the foot of the Wilder Kaiser runs parallel to the Kaiserloipe cross-country trail, which fully deserves it's majestic name. The trail is perfect for families with sledges. Start in the village and cross the road heading north at the Ellmau central car park and you're at the hike starting point, which is a popular golf green in the summer. Turn right and the route leads you on a comfortable hike to the two farmhouses near the Hausbach stream. You walk along the edge of the forest on the groomed winter hiking trail back to the Kaiserbad and from there follow the signs to Auwald till you reach the beautiful old farmhouse standing alone in the meadow. Once past that, it's back towards the village. You can take a short break or enjoy the fantastic views of Ellmau village or the Kaisergebirge mountain range on one of the many benches along the winter hiking trail.
What to look out for along the way:
You can make for any of the numerous sunny benches on the circular walk: they all offer magnificent views.
If any members of your party are cross-country skiers, they can accompany you for some of the route before rejoining you for a bite to eat.
