The Kaisermarathon Ultra starts in the village centre of Söll – at the same time as the Kaisermarathon – and first leads to the Alpenschlössl, then back through the village centre. It continues via Scheffau to Ellmau and on to the Rübezahlalm. The route then leads to the Bergkaiser panorama restaurant. It continues along hiking trails to the Tanzboden, then via the Jochstubensee lake to the Filzalmsee lake and on to Hexenwasser. The steepest section runs along narrow and steep hiking trails to the finish at the summit of the Hohe Salve. From here, only ultra runners who have completed the stage in under 6 hours can continue – down via Rigi to the Kraftalm, then via Stöcklalm to Hexenwasser. From Hexenwasser, with a direct view of the Wilder Kaiser, the route continues via Tanzboden, Ellmau and Scheffau back to the finish in the village centre of Söll.
