How to get around Ellmau
How our self-guided Ellmau walking holidays work:
Our self-guided trips let you set your own pace, from the length of your stay, to how far you walk each day. But if you’re used to group or guided holidays, you might be wondering how you’ll get around? Well, it’s easy…
Getting to and around town:
Your transfer from the airport is included with your trip. Once there, you'll find the resort is highly walkable. Meadow, forest, and river footpaths are easily accessible from town, and there's even a gondola to help whisk you 1,000m up to higher trails across the Wilder Kaiser mountains.
Getting to your walks and hikes:
The free KaiserJet bus runs every 30 mins, connecting you to hikes around Going, Scheffau, and Söll, and even more lifts at Hintersteinersee Lake.
Public buses also connect to neighbouring Kufstein, Wörgl, Kitzbühel, and St Johann - all free with your Wilder Kaiser Summer Card.
