Ellmauer Halt (2,344 m) is the highest peak of the Wilder Kaiser massif and one of the most famous peak in entire Kaiser mountains. The views from the top are so beautiful.
Ascent: From the parking lot follow the path to Kopftörl. From there, stay on the South side of the ridge (never on the ridge) until the 2nd tower. A lot of people don't find the right way and instead go to the ridge but the actual path is just walking a bit below the ridge. From the third tower you can use the rope. The 5th tower has to bypassed on the North side. In winter conditions, there might be some snow. The crux of the whole ridge is just before the summit with a grade IV- section.

Descent: Follow the Gamsgängersteig back to Gruttenhütte and then marked path to the parking lot. No difficult sections from the hut to the parking lot.
