Small, quiet and stunningly beautiful, Ellmau is instantly alluring to those looking for pure escapism. The undulating landscape and formidable peaks of the Wilder Kaiser provide an undeniably lavish backdrop, and plenty of hiking inspiration. Ellmau’s scenic wonder has even bought it small screen fame as the setting of Austrian TV series ‘Der Bergdoktor’. The village is largely built from local wood and stone with a pretty, 18th-century stone chapel watching over it from a small hill. While the atmosphere is peaceful, restaurants and bars are bursting with Tyrolean hospitality, so you’ll always feel welcome.
