About Wildseeloder#

Wildseeloder is a mountain in Tyrol’s Kitzbühel Alps near the town of Fieberbrunn, noted for its summit and a small alpine lake on the slopes. It is a regular destination for both summer hiking and winter skiing.

Hikers can reach the summit by marked trails; the lake and adjacent mountain hut offer destinations for shorter walks. In winter, the Fieberbrunn ski area and chairlifts provide access to slopes on the mountain’s lower sections.

The mountain is a natural formation long used for alpine grazing and, more recently, developed for recreational use with trails and lifts. It forms part of the local mountain landscape that supports seasonal tourism.

Located in western Tyrol, the peak sits above the Pillersee and Fieberbrunn valley system, with the town of Fieberbrunn providing the nearest services and access points.

  • Elevation: The peak reaches approximately 2,119 meters in elevation and is part of the Kitzbühel Alps.
  • Wildsee: Contains a notable small alpine lake, the Wildsee, and a nearby mountain hut that serve as common rest points on hiking routes.

What to See#

  • Summit: The rocky summit peak rises above the surrounding ridges and is a common target for day hikes from nearby Fieberbrunn.

How to Get to Wildseeloder#

Typical access is from the Fieberbrunn region; local lifts and marked alpine trails connect valley villages with the summit trails. Public transport reaches nearby resorts with onward bus or taxi links.
