The first big advantage of the Kaunertal is the ability to drive with your car up to 2750m, directly to the glacier. The drive from Feichten (last town) to the glacier is about 30km, beautiful landscapes and a huge lake included. The ski resorts offers everything for a beginner and an expert. A great funpark for snowboarder (beginner and experts), a halfpipe and obstacles. There are six surface lifts and two chair lifts (down to 2150m). So you are able to carve down from 3162m to 2150m on one piece, great! The next big thing is, that there are no masses of tourists and the tracks are shaped nearly daily.
