About location

Few places in Tyrol have a history as closely tied to high-alpine travel and glacier skiing as Kaunertal. The municipality extends through the Kaunertal, a long side valley of the upper Inn within the Ötztal Alps, near the Italian border. Its higher reaches lead to the Kaunertal Glacier and the Kaunertal Glacier Road, a toll road that opens access to otherwise remote mountain terrain. Around the Weissseejochbahn, lifts serve the glacier ski area amid broad, treeless slopes and rugged ridges. Far below, the Faggenbach runs down the valley towards Prutz. Mountain farms, valley settlements and modern alpine infrastructure reflect how this small Tyrolean community has adapted to a demanding high-mountain setting.

City Kaunertal

Gemeinde Kaunertal straddles the Faggenbach in Tyrol’s Kaunertal valley, and its setting beneath the Ötztal Alps has shaped a community of small settlements along a steep Alpine corridor. From Feichten, the Kaunertal Glacier Road leads past the Gepatsch Reservoir towards the Weißseeferner glacier, placing a remarkable high-mountain route within the municipality. Alpine farming remains part of local life on the valley’s summer pastures, while the Kaunergrat Nature Park region provides routes for walking and mountain exploration. The Kaunertal Glacier ski area also keeps the valley active through the winter season. Discover other points of interest through webcams located across Kaunertal and Tyrol.

Tyrol
Region Tyrol

Tyrol combines an energetic alpine identity with an established urban culture in a way that reflects its position within the central Eastern Alps. Innsbruck, the regional capital on the River Inn, lies beneath the Nordkette range and brings imperial-era architecture into close contact with high mountain terrain. Its Golden Roof remains one of the city’s best-known historic landmarks, while the surrounding valleys connect settlements, ski areas and hiking country across the region.

Country Austria

Austria stretches from the Bohemian Massif along its northern edge to the Carnic Alps on the Italian border, encompassing high Alpine ranges and the Danube lowlands. The Danube links cities including Linz and Vienna, while the Grossglockner, at 3,798 metres, is the country’s highest mountain. Vienna developed for centuries as the seat of the Habsburg court, leaving imperial architecture around the Hofburg and Schönbrunn Palace. Salzburg is closely associated with Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, who was born there in 1756. Alpine Tyrol, wine-growing areas east of Vienna and the lakes of Salzkammergut add markedly different regional identities.
