Oberndorf in Tirol

Guarded by the Emperor

Towering above Oberndorf, the rugged Wilder Kaiser Mountains with their almost 2,300-meter high peaks have always held a special allure for locals and visitors alike.

According to an old legend, the Roman emperor Charlemagne found his last resting place in the quiet limestone rocks over 1,000 years ago. And when looking at the peaks long enough you will see that they actually resemble a crown….

The amazing mountain views you enjoy from your window make for the perfect way to start your day in Oberndorf (687m), a charming village of 2,300 inhabitants that is nestled between the Kitzbüheler Horn and the Wilder Kaiser range. Oberndorf charms visitors with its traditional Tirolean flair, warm hospitality and great variety of outdoor activities in pristine nature.

The sunny area offers an abundance of great hikes any time of the year. Action enthusiasts should definitely visit the OD Trails bike park in summer. Here you can ride your bike downhill on several lines and uphill again with a bike drag lift.

In the cold season, skiers and snowboarders appreciate the benefits that come with a small resort, and there is a gondola that gives access to the ski area St. Johann in Tirol, famous for its sunny slopes and spectacular mountain views.
