Easily stowed luggage can be stored in the luggage racks above the seats. Since the space is limited in height, bulky pieces of luggage should be stowed under the seats.
No hiking day without a stop! Delicacies such as "Pressknödel", "Kasspatzl" or pretzel soup taste twice as good at the hut or mountain inn. Tasty cheese is available at two cheese dairies. And you also have to try a "Krautinger", the unique beet schnapps of the Wildschönau.
Walking holiday
The Wildschönau is a walker’s paradise in the heart of the Kitzbühel Alps. 300 km of well tended walking paths cover the area. The mountains here are not extremely steep or craggy, rather the landscape can be described as having gentle and grass covered mountains with meadows and walks through forests and ravines on the one hand, and on the other the peaks and high mountains which are dotted with characteristical, quaint alpine huts.
The Wildschönau Card includes the summer mountain railways, swimming pool, guided hikes, museums and much more. The card is available from one overnight stay in the hotel.
Mobility tip: The Bummelzug (slow train) and Bummelbahn (slow tram) take guests to the Kundler Klamm and Schönangeralm. Climb aboard and discover the valley!
The two summer mountain cable cars Markbachjochbahn/Niederau and Schatzbergbahn/Auffach take hikers and walkers comfortably up to the heights. The rides are included in the Wildschönau Card.
