Ellmau is a lively village in the Tyrolean Unterland, boasting a spectacular setting right at the foot of the jagged Wilder Kaiser mountains. It is a key entry point to the SkiWelt Wilder Kaiser-Brixental, one of the world's largest and most modern ski areas, featuring over 270 km of slopes. A local highlight is the Hartkaiser gondola, which transports guests to 'Ellmi's Magic World,' a massive mountain-top adventure park for children. The village gained international fame as the primary filming location for the 'Der Bergdoktor' (The Mountain Doctor) TV series, with the doctor’s surgery being a popular attraction. In summer, Ellmau has everything from challenging climbing routes on the Kaiser peaks to a relaxing 27-hole golf course with remarkable alpine backdrops. The gastronomy is top-notch, ranging from traditional Tyrolean 'Brettljause' to award-winning cuisine. The village center is bustling with shops, boutiques, and cozy cafes. Conveniently located near the Inntal motorway, it is also easily accessible from the train stations of Kufstein or St. Johann in Tirol. Ellmau masterfully balances modern tourism infrastructure with a warm, authentic alpine village charm.
