Ellmau is a pretty village located between the rolling green slopes of the Kitzbüheler Alps and the craggy Wild Emperor mountains. With a strong farming history, it is still full of local character and tradition. The village is also home to the longest mountain cable railway in Austria, the 'Hartkaiserbahn', which ascends to the top of the Hartkaiser mountain (1,654m) from which there are superb views of the Wild Emperor range. Evening entertainment in Ellmau includes a weekly street market and brass band concerts. See below for great Ellmau hotels.
