Tobogganing
Tobogganing and hiking through the Tyrolean winter landscape
All good things come in fives! At least when it comes to the natural toboggan runs in the Kaunertal. Young and old alike enjoy the following routes:
- Schnadiger Weiher in Kaunerberg: 2 km long - through a wonderful snowy spruce forest
- Ögghöfe: 2 km long - directly in Feichten, illuminated from 17:00 to 23:00
- Verpeil: 3.2 km long - from the viewing platform 'Adlerblick' to Feichten
- Fendels: 4.5 km long
By the way: for the toboggan run Verpeil and the toboggan run in Fendels we have been awarded the toboggan mark of approval by the province of Tyrol!
Those who prefer solid ground under their feet can choose one of the countless winter hiking trails.
Winter hiking
With the whole family in the Kaunergrat Nature Park
The Kaunergrat Nature Park is the ideal destination for a trip with the whole family, especially in winter! Not only for guests, but also for locals. With trained biologists, experienced hunters, and regional farmers, this is the perfect chance to explore nature in Tyrol. During special children's tours, the kids will learn more about how wild animals survive life in winter. Child-friendly snowshoe hikes on the Piller Sattel make use of that youthful energy to get them moving while experiencing a unique moment in nature.
In the nature park in winter, you can also enjoy:
- Horn sledge rides
- Wildlife feedings
- Tracking animals in the snow
- Nativity Scene walks
- A traditional Christmas market
and, of course, cross-country skiing, curling, or even ice climbing. The nature park and glacier region lets you get the most out of your family holiday in Austria! After all, there is so much more to experience in winter beyond our two special ski areas. Get the best family-friendly accommodation and offers for your break in the Kaunertal!

2 ski areas - 1 skipass: Kaunertal Glacier & Winter Mountain Fendels
Family package at the Kaunertal Glacier
The wide slopes of the glacier mean no queuing at the lifts, something all members of the family will appreciate. After all, everyone’s looking forward to their winter holidays and the first downhill run! Those who are new to the slopes can get their first experiences on the practice slopes, while those who are seasoned or brave can head directly to Snowpark Kaunertal.
Children who are too young or have not yet found their courage will be well-cared for at the Kaunertal Glacier Kinderland! Do your kids need a break, even from the skis? Right next to the sun terrace of the Weißsee restaurant, there is an adventure playground with swings, a trampoline, and a climbing wall.
Fendels: the ideal ski resort for families
Fendels is the family friendly ski area par excellence! It features many attractive child-friendly activities. For example, the kids can let off some steam at the BIBI Kinderland near the valley station of the cable car. And whether you opt for the giant slalom, downhill racing, or a ride through the tunnel, a holiday in Fendels is anything but boring! Mum and dad can also let loose on one of the forest slopes.
Good to know: tasty children's meals and snacks are on offer. There are also special children's ski lessons and, of course, not just in Fendels, but also in the neighbouing Kaunertal Glacier ski area.
Small tip with great charm: the village lift in Feichten
Looking for something special? At the “Easpenhang” you will find a small ski area with a very special flair. The Feichten village lift is especially popular with the littlest ones, who want to tackle their first slope!
