Going Am Wilden Kaiser

About Going Am Wilden Kaiser - presentation, information, photos and recommendations

Going - skiing fit for a king!

At the foot of the Astberg (1,267 m), surrounded by the Kitzbüheler Alps in the south, as well as the Wilder Kaiser in the North, is Going at 800 m altitude. The typically Tyrolean village has retained its special charm and invites you to relax. The Wilder Kaiser towers majestically over the resort, and some claim that the mountain range is at its loveliest here. Skiers will find a tremendous range of pistes on the mountain ridge from Astberg to Hohe Salve. The Going village church, dominating the townscape, is one of the loveliest rococo churches in Austria. A further highlight in Going: The famous Stanglwirt not only entices the in-crowd from Munich and Vienna, but is mainly known for its "Weißwurst" parties.

Ski
With the "Ski World Wilder Kaiser - Brixental" lift pass you have access to Austria's largest connected ski area! On various occasions the SkiWelt was voted to one of the best ski areas worldwide by the platform "Skiresort Service International", and during the winter season 11/12 it was additionally granted an award as one of the top ski areas! Unlimited fun is guaranteed with 91 modern gondolas, 279 km of groomed pistes (225 km are easily covered in artificial snow), some of which are illuminated, and the "Kaiserpark" on Hartkaiser with quarter-pipe, slides and boardercross guarantees endless snowy fun! It doesn't matter if you're young or old, a novice or an expert, everyone gets their money's worth here.

The Astberg runs are mainly quite easy and, therefore, an ideal spot for families. The longest descent covers a difference in altitude of 431 m and is nearly 2,5 km long. From here the connection to the rest of the Going ski area is perfect! Numerous valley runs, e.g. the 7.3 km long valley run from the Hohe Salve to Söll, which real fans will drool over. Cracks also need not worry, as countless black pistes are found all around the Hartkaiser and the Hohe Salve. Hopfgarten, Westendorf and Scheffau also offer great freeride possibilities.
