Wilder Kaiser Outdoor Region

Climbing with a history

The Wilder Kaiser mountain range is one of Austria’s best-known climbing destinations. In 1977, international climbing history was made at the Fleischbank Pillar on the Pumprisse route with the first ascent of a route with a Level of Difficulty of 7. Well-known Alpine names such as Totenkirchl, Predigtstuhl and Fleischbank inspire awe and sporting ambition among mountaineers.

To complement the alpine classics, a wide variety of sport climbing routes of all Levels of Difficulty have been established in the Rock Climbing Areas of the Wilder Kaiser. From the practice crags in the Kaiserklettergarten to the climbing hotspot Schleierwasserfall, which boasts some of Europe’s most challenging routes, beginners and passionate climbers alike will find their own individual challenge and a personal rock-climbing experience.

The Wilder Kaiser offers sport climbing, Multi-Pitch Climbing, Via Ferrata/Iron Way and indoor climbing centres for climbers of all ability levels. If you’re coming with the whole family and the children, the Ellmauer Kaiserklettergarten comes highly recommended. You can find the relevant topos for all areas on Climbers Paradise Tirol in print quality.
