Climbing in the Kaisergebirge

Wilder Kaiser or Kaisergebirge („Kaiser Mountains“) is one of Austria’s most popular climbing destinations. In 1977, international climbing history was written when the route „Pumprisse“ (7th grade) at Fleischbank-Pfeiler was established. Popular alpine routes such as Totenkirchl, Predigtstuhl or Fleischbank trigger both respect and ambition.

 

Wilder Kaiser offers historical climbing

Additionally to alpine classics, many sport climbing routes in all difficulty grades were established. While the climbing garden Kaiserklettergarten is recommended for beginners, Schleierwasserfall provides some of Europe’s most difficult sport climbing routes. This climbing hot spot is recommended for both beginners and experienced climbers who search an individual challenge on rock. Aside from sport climbing routes, the Kaisergebirge also offer multi pitches, via ferratas and climbing gyms. The Ellmauer Kaiserklettergarten is very family-friendly. All topos are online available for printing on Climber’s Paradise Tirol!

Why are the “Kaiser Mountains” called like this?

With a bit of fantasy, you can recognise Charles the Great’s profile between the Treffauer and Ellmauer Halt Peak. The villages Ellmau, Going, Scheffau and Söll have a lot of outdoor activities to offer – both in summer and winter.
