Kaunergrat Nature Park is worth a visit year-round
Attractive high-altitude and themed hiking trails, traditionally managed pastures and the modern Nature Park Museum are just some of the many good reasons to visit the Kaunergrat Nature Park in Tyrol. In summer, it attracts mainly hikers and mountaineers.
Good to know: selected areas like the Piller Moor bog are even wheelchair accessible!
In winter, nature shows itself from another, but equally fascinating side. The snow-covered Kaunergrat Nature Park offers several extended snowshoeing, tobogganing, and cross-country ski trails to choose from.
Special winter experiences in the Kaunertal
Speaking of winter, the nearby Kaunertal Glacier ski area is a paradise for winter sports enthusiasts, but not just in winter. From September to June, the high mountains of the Ötztal Alps offer ideal conditions for skiers and snowboarders. Right in Feichten, the village ski lift on the ‘Easpenhang’ also offers the chance to enjoy some sporting activities.
Things get festive on the four Saturdays before Christmas each year at the town's well-known Christmas market. From the moment you arrive at the Feichten village square, the smells, sounds, and tastes of Christmas are everywhere - and the festive spirit is impossible to resist! Let yourself be enchanted by the unique atmosphere and the many other events happening in December to celebrate Christmas in the Kaunertal!
