Kaunertal Urlaub im Naturpark

There are 6 alpine height levels to overcome when driving along the 26 km long Kaunertal Glacier Panorama Road. From lush green flower meadows, past the Geptsch reservoir, ancient stone pine forests to the edge of the glacier ice - here you will find a unique natural landscape that is second to none - not for nothing the most beautiful dead end in the Alps! Arriving at 2,750 m above sea level, you can still take the completely barrier-free gondola up to 3,108 m with the Karlesjochbahn. Directly on the Italian state border you will experience a breathtaking mountain panorama with a view!

Wild gorges, roaring waterfalls, the kingdom of the three-thousanders very close. Experience a journey into the past and into the interior of the mountain. The Kaunertal adventure circuit is a varied family hike for young and old and offers a natural spectacle of impressive diversity and special moments at the foot of the Kaunergrat.

Follow the course of the water along the Verpeil gorge via stairs, narrow paths and a suspension bridge. There are always new perspectives on the cascades and waterfalls of the Verpeilbach. The gorge is crossed on a spectacular suspension bridge.

The Adlerblick viewing platform is enthroned high above Feichten on the more than 100m high rock face "Seitwand". Here you can get very close to the mighty peaks of the Kaunertal mountains and get a bird's-eye view of the valley. A small path connects the Adlerblick with the Bergwerksblick viewing platform. The platform towers over a steep slope where the Kaunertal miners mined centuries ago.

This is where the journey into the past and into the heart of the mountain begins. The Knappensteig leads through the history and tradition of Kaunertal mining. At the miners' hut you can look for ore yourself and share your snack with the wood miners. Two accessible miners' holes from the 16th and 17th centuries can be found along the further course of the path.

Would you like to go high up in the Tyrolean mountains? Then you've come to the right place in the Kaunertal, because here the holiday begins right at the holiday door.

The E-shuttle takes you even further up - up to 2,750 m above sea level to the Kaunertal Glacier. Enjoy the view and feel the power of the glacier ice.
