Frequently asked questions
The Astberg valley station in Going is 3 minutes away on the free KaiserJet ski bus, or 8 minutes on foot. From the Astberg you step straight into Austria’s largest ski area — the SkiWelt Wilder Kaiser–Brixental, with 288 kilometres of pistes and 90 lifts.

Going is the main filming location for the ZDF series. From the farm you can walk to the most important sets: the Bergdoktor surgery on the village square, the Wilder Kaiser as the backdrop, the Schoberhüttl. The tourist board runs a guided Bergdoktor walk every week.
