The Kaiser is always in sight

A feast for the eyes

Just one glance beyond your plate in the KaiserLounge and you can enjoy the sight of the Wilder Kaiser in all its unique and rugged facets in both winter and summer. The absolute highlight is the large sky terrace, which offers not only a breathtaking view of the Wilder Kaiser but also all the surrounding mountains. Countless rays of sunshine are the cherry on top of this magnificent experience, and a nice suntan at this elevation is guaranteed!

What about lunch?

Don't worry - we will pamper your taste buds during lunch and in the afternoon... actually for the whole day of skiing.

Modern cross-over cuisine is guaranteed to suit every taste! If you are in the mood for culinary enjoyment beyond just the hut classics, then you have come to the right place. Of course, you can also feast on Kaiserschmarrn pancakes here.

In the evenings - with the exception of special events – the kitchen on the mountain is closed, but in the Tirol Bar & Grill restaurant right at the valley station of the Hartkaiserbahn lift, the kitchen crew is busy conjuring up mouth-watering specialties in the evenings.


"The peak of pure enjoyment is at an elevation of 1,550 m."
