Kaiserradrunde - Cycling at the Wilder Kaiser

Cycling
The Kaiserradrunde is all about the entire mountain range. With 84 kilometers and an altitude of 980 meters, this round is a challenge, but with a little preparation it is definitely possible. Of course, you also have the option of doing the round on a pedelec or e-bike. But this circuit is also great to drive on with a mountain bike or a gravel bike. The great thing about circular tours is that you can get on anywhere along the circuit.
In Kufstein you start your tour with a great view of the fortress. You follow the Inn downstream and switch to the other bank of the river. In the direction of Ebbs you drive first on a gravel path and then on a beautiful stretch of road. Warmed up, you now drive into the first ascent. 200 meters later you can already see the Walchsee. On hot days, of course, there is nothing against taking a short break here and jumping into the cool water. After the Walchsee you continue on a beautiful side road to Kössen, a small, charming community in Kaiserwinkl. Everything a hungry cyclist desires is available in the center of the village. If you are on time, take a break.
After Kössen, the quietest section of the Kaiserradrunde follows the cycle path along the Großache. On a beautiful gravel path you drive along the stream towards Erpfendorf. It is wonderful to cycle here in the shelter of shady trees. In Erpfendorf you have already made it halfway. While you continue to follow the Großache on a well-paved gravel path, you have a great view of the unmistakable Kitzbüheler Horn. A little later you will reach St. Johann in Tirol. Here the bike path leads around the village. If you have enough time, it is worth taking a detour to the center.
You cycle the next 20 kilometers in Söllandl. With the Wilder Kaiser on your right and the Kitzbühel Alps on your left, this section is particularly scenic. The vertical meters up to Ellmau fly by. From Ellmau, it's first downhill. Now the section over the Eiberg follows. A new cycle path was built here in 2019, which will bring you back to Kufstein with a few extra meters of altitude, but with less traffic.

Trail Reviews
Superb tour!!! From St. Johann it was quite relaxed and went to Oberndorf and from there it climbed steadily to Going. On the way you pass the grounds of an archery club, which has also set up a barbecue area with self-service supplies for the public. With beautiful views you pass Ellmau and Scheffau and then reach the Inn bridge, from where you have your first view of the fortress. The panorama of the town of Kufstein accompanies you until you cross the Inn again. Via Ebbs you can see the beautiful Walchsee just behind Durchholzen. From there via Kössen, Erpfendorf and Kirchdorf back to St. Johann i.T. Highly recommended tour, just save your battery! My e-bike's battery gave up 10 kilometers before the finish.
Start Walchsee at 9 a.m. Kössen, along the Grossache via Erpfendorf to Kirchdorf in Tirol, then on to St. Johann in Tirol (follow the new route, the old one is closed by the farmer, go back a bit) via Oberndorf in Tirol to Going Ellmau, Scheffau to Kufstein along the Inn promenade, nice restaurants to linger in. To Ebbs Wagrain/Mühltal towards Durchholzen Walchsee. The tour is also very well signposted. Very good gravel and tarmac cycle paths.
Many thanks to @Renate for the excellent, detailed planning of the tour around the Kaiser Mountains. You can find it online under "T2 Kaiser Runde." The mountain panorama is simply beautiful, and the route itself is varied, with village rides, wonderful bike paths along rivers, and climbs and rapid descents. The tour is fun, and the length and elevation gain are easily manageable on an e-bike. 😁👍👍👍
So, I'm taking you with me again and inviting you on a 90km loop around the Wilder Kaiser. Then there's a link to the video on YouTube. Have fun ☺️☺️☺️👍
The Kaiser cycle circuit of almost 90 kilometers is truly an imperial tour. We start in Going at the Bergdoktor via Ellmau to Scheffau and shortly before Söll we say goodbye to the Wilder Kaiser communities in the direction of Schwoich. Down in serpentines into the Inn Valley to the pearl of Tyrol in Kufstein. Along the Inn and finally right at the edge of the forest to Ebbs. After 45 kilometers we deserve a break on the south bank of Lake Walchsee. After an hour's rest and recharging your batteries, we finally head to Kössen. First in the forest and then always along the Großache we drive to Kirchdorf i. Tyrol. The last stage leads to St. Johann and via Oberndorf back to Going. The photos and the recording show us a wonderful imperial bike tour around the Wild and Tame Emperor. 🙋🏻♂️😉😍
In fantastic imperial weather ☀️ the emperors 👑 made the round 🚴 ♀️. Hammer tour that I really liked and that I will definitely do again. A variety of paths take you through a beautiful area 🌲⛰️🌊 and there's a lot to see 👀. The Motorik Park has now been completed in Kössen. ✅. Anyone who has gone through it a few times can take part in the Ninja Warrior competitions at any time, so definitely try it out, it's right on the track🤪👍. We stopped in 🍺🥘 in a totally quaint little restaurant shortly after Kufstein where the Kaiserbach flows into the Inn..
A dream tour today in dream weather ☀️ I left home at 6 a.m. and started at around 8 a.m. from the free Thurnbichl car park because thunderstorms were forecast for the afternoon. Once around the Kaiser Mountains. At the beginning it was nice and cool to cycle in the shade. After Kufstein I had sun, but with the wind it was still pleasant (except up the mountain 🥵😅) I was back at my destination shortly after 1 p.m.
