Kaiserlift

Kaiser Mountains nature reserve - Fascinating mountain world

Majestic peaks. Rugged. Sublime. A mountain massif in all possible gradations of grey, surrounded by lush green forests and idyllic alms. The distant sound of cowbells mixed with the buzzing of beetles. A picturesque idyll at 1,265 m, in the middle of the Zahmer and Wilder Kaiser nature reserve. An excursion destination for leisure hikers, families and passionate mountaineers. Untouched nature, which can be explored on well-signposted paths, easily accessible with the Kaiserlift Kufstein. Traditional huts invite you to rest, and awareness places to pause. Spectacular. Adventurous.
