The Kaiserkrönchen, or "Kaiser's Little Crown," is the Wilder Kaiser in its purest form. No fluff, just the best parts of the Kaiserkrone in a compact trek. You get rugged limestone peaks, sweeping ridgelines, and proper hut-to-hut hiking. Fewer days, same adventure. Perfect if you want the real deal but can’t spare a full week.

The route is straightforward and circular: well-marked trails, solid climbs, and big views. Each night, you land in a traditional Austrian mountain hut, where a warm meal and good company await. No need to overthink it. This is the Wilder Kaiser, distilled. If you’re short on time but want maximum reward, the Kaiserkrönchen is your trek.

Itinerary

Included

  • Booking the huts

    We will take care of arranging accommodation on the Kaiserkrone for you. We will also provide you with a detailed itinerary for every stage and instructions on how to get to the trailhead.

  • Full travel guide

    You’ll receive access to our trekking app, which serves as your complete digital travel guide for the Kaiserkrone. Inside, you’ll find everything you need for your trek: route descriptions, hiking maps, navigation support, payment information, and all the key details specific to your journey.

  • Accommodation

    During your Kaiserkrone, you will spend your nights in mountain huts. In the mountain huts we normally only book dormitories, but we can look into private rooms on request. If the private rooms are fully booked or not available in the hut, we automatically book a bed in dormitories for you. Please note that private rooms are more expensive and there will be an additional charge for this.

  • Half board (where possible)

    Accommodation in the huts includes dinner and breakfast, unless otherwise indicated in the exclusive list. This allows you to travel lighter and not have to worry about an extra meal. Please note, however, that lunch is not included, but can be purchased at the huts.

    Our trekking app also includes built-in navigation support. With GPS-based maps and offline access, you can follow the trail confidently and stay on route even without mobile signal.
