Things to do in Going am Wilden Kaiser

Activities - Going am Wilden Kaiser is a charming Tyrolean village surrounded by the striking peaks of the Wilder Kaiser. Although the region is well known for winter sports, a stay in Going can be just as enjoyable for visitors who want to experience the snow, scenery and local traditions without spending their holiday on skis or a snowboard. Winter hiking is one of the simplest ways to discover the area. Maintained trails pass through snow-covered meadows, forests and quiet countryside, with the mountains providing an impressive backdrop throughout the walk. The Aschauer Sonnseit winter circuit, for example, follows the sunny side of Going and covers around 3.9 kilometres, while longer routes such as the Hollenauer Kreuz trail offer wider views across the Kaiser landscape. For visitors looking for a more adventurous walk, snowshoein* provides access to quieter winter terrain. Snowshoes make it possible to explore snowy meadows and forest paths away from the prepared walking routes. Guided excursions are available in the wider Wilder Kaiser area and can be arranged with local mountain and hiking guides. Tobogganing is another enjoyable way to make the most of the winter landscape. The wider Wilder Kaiser region has several sledging routes, including options for evening tobogganing. It is particularly suitable for families and groups looking for an activity that combines outdoor adventure with plenty of fun. For a slower-paced experience, visitors can take a horse-drawn sleigh ride through the snowy countryside. These traditional rides offer a peaceful way to see Going and its surroundings while wrapped up warmly against the winter air. Scheduled rides are available during the winter season. Families can also explore the region's range of winter activities and seasonal programmes. Ice skating, family snow activities and organised events provide alternatives for days when visitors want to take a break from more demanding outdoor adventures. For a particularly memorable winter outing, the surrounding Wilder Kaiser landscape offers numerous viewpoints and peaceful corners where visitors can simply appreciate the mountains. The snow-covered scenery creates a very different atmosphere from the summer months, with quiet forests, frozen landscapes and dramatic alpine peaks.

Restaurants - Going am Wilden Kaiser offers a cosy and varied dining scene centred around traditional Tyrolean cuisine. Visitors can enjoy hearty regional dishes, seasonal specialities and Austrian classics in welcoming village inns, while mountain huts provide a more rustic setting with views of the surrounding Alps. Examples include Restaurant Gasthof Stanglwirt, known for seasonal and regional cuisine, Reischerwirt, which serves traditional Tyrolean home cooking, and Hollenauer-Kreuz Jausenstation for a relaxed mountain stop. For something more casual, Pizzeria Primavera offers an Italian alternative.

Apres Ski & Nightlife - Going am Wilden Kaiser has a relaxed and sociable après-ski atmosphere rather than a large-scale party scene. After a day in the mountains, visitors can meet friends for drinks, music and traditional Austrian food in cosy village venues and mountain huts. The local tourism organisation describes Going’s après-ski as centred around spending time together in a rustic, friendly setting. One example is Koasa Hüttn, a local après-ski venue where guests can enjoy drinks and a lively atmosphere after their day outdoors. The wider SkiWelt area also offers numerous mountain huts and bars for those wanting to continue their evening elsewhere. Going also hosts GOING live, a winter evening programme held at the village square from January, featuring live performances, music and warming drinks. It provides a more cultural and community-focused alternative to traditional après-ski partying. For visitors looking for more nightlife, nearby Ellmau and Söll offer a broader selection of bars, pubs and late-evening venues within the Wilder Kaiser region.
