Welcome to Kaiserwinkl -

The Hotel Riedl in Kössen delights nature lovers with its location in the heart of the picturesque Kaiserwinkl region – an ideal starting point for an active winter holiday in Tyrol. Whether you set off directly from the hotel onto well-groomed cross-country skiing trails in Kössen, snow-covered winter hiking trails in Kössen or quiet snowshoe routes – the untouched winter landscape, clear mountain air and panoramic views of the Kaiser Mountains make every tour an unforgettable experience of nature.

The Kaiserwinkl is one of Tyrol's most diverse holiday destinations. Surrounded by the Kaiser Mountains, alpine meadows, crystal-clear lakes and wide valleys, the region offers a unique combination of nature, outdoor activities and relaxation. Compared to many larger tourist destinations, the Kaiserwinkl has retained its authentic and peaceful character, allowing guests to experience the mountains at their own pace.

What also makes the region unique is the opportunity to experience all four elements of nature. Water can be found in Lake Walchsee, mountain streams and natural swimming spots. Earth is present on alpine meadows, hiking trails and mountain paths. Fresh alpine air accompanies every outdoor adventure and provides spectacular views of the surrounding peaks. Fire is reflected in the first rays of sunshine over the mountains, colourful sunsets and the warmth and hospitality of the people who live here.

This unique connection between water, earth, air and fire makes the Kaiserwinkl a region that inspires, energises and leaves lasting memories.

The Kaiserwinkl is the perfect destination for guests who want to combine outdoor activities with relaxation and enjoyment. Hiking trails, cycling routes, cross-country ski tracks and winter walking paths lead through a diverse landscape of mountains, forests, alpine meadows and lakes.

At the same time, the region offers a more relaxed atmosphere than many larger tourist destinations in Tyrol. Instead of crowds and busy hotspots, visitors enjoy nature, breathtaking viewpoints and the freedom to explore at their own pace. After an active day outdoors, regional cuisine, cosy places and impressive mountain scenery invite guests to slow down and savour the moment.

This unique combination of activity, nature, relaxation and enjoyment makes the Kaiserwinkl an ideal destination for active travellers throughout the year.
