Wochenbrunner Alpine Hut

Highlight • Mountain Hut

The Wochenbrunner Alm can be easily reached either on foot from Ellmau or by car via a toll road (the toll ticket is a voucher on the Alm). At the Alm there is a large parking lot, a game reserve, a Kneipp facility, the Almladl and a chapel. As it is a popular destination, you will look in vain for peace and quiet.

The Alm is located at 1,080 m at the foot of the Wilder Kaiser, offers a wonderful panorama on the beautifully situated sun terrace and is the starting point for numerous hikes.

Gruttenhütte

Highlight • Mountain Hut

The hut is located at 1,620 meters on the sunny south side at the foot of the Wilder Kaiser high above Ellmau and offers a wonderful view on the beautiful sun terrace - on clear days even as far as the Goßvenediger. The hut is towered over by the highest peak in the Wilder Kaiser – the Ellmauer Halt, at 2,344 metres.

On beautiful summer days, the much-visited hut is a popular destination for hikers and an important base for mountaineers and climbers, who can start alpine tours and great climbing routes from here.

The hut is staffed from Pentecost to mid-October.

Snowfield and Ladder on Jubiläumssteig

Highlight • Climb

The snow field in the Jubilee Trail usually has snow ❄️ all year round. The crossing is unsecured - if you have small children with you, you should have a safety rope and 2 carabiners with you if necessary. An aluminum ladder is available to help, which is also required depending on the melt. A highlight for the little ones and also for adults.

Jubiläumssteig (Wilder Kaiser)

Highlight • Climb

Very nice trail, but more of a mountain tour than a hike! The path is partly secured with ropes (in the more exposed places), there are also a few ladders/stairs. Never really more difficult than A and is usually walked unsecured. In some places there is a risk of falling rocks when there is a lot going on.
