The Kaisermarathon starts in the village center of Söll and initially leads to the Alpenschlössl, before returning through the village center. The route then continues across meadows and trail paths via Scheffau to Ellmau, reaching the Rübezahlalm. From there, the course follows alpine pastures and hiking trails, passing the Jägerhütte on the way to the Panoramarestaurant Bergkaiser. The route continues along hiking trails to the Tanzboden, then past the Jochstubensee to the Filzalmsee, and onward to the Hexenwasser. The final section runs along partly narrow and steep hiking trails to the finish at the summit of the Hohe Salve.

​

The course is signposted year-round. In the event of extremely poor weather conditions, the organizer reserves the right to modify the course.
