Going am Wilder Kaiser in short

  • Height: 800 metres
  • A peaceful, friendly village
  • Suitable for beginners
  • Lots of facilities for kids

Going is located at an altitude of 773 metres, at the foot of the Wilder Kaiser mountains. The village has a central but quiet location, some 20 km from the border at Kufstein.

Yet there are no big crowds, and the tranquillity remains even in the heart of winter.

For many centuries, people have known how to find their way to Going. The traditional alpine village has a picturesque and peaceful feel, with the Wilder Kaiser in the background everywhere you look. Some people even claim that you have the most beautiful views of the mountain range from here. Many climbers, therefore, descend there to climb it.

Fun tours to ski are the SkiWelt Tour and Kaiserrunde. At the end of the ski day, a wonderful valley run back to the village always awaits you.
