Skiing in Feichten
Feichten is the main village of the Kaunertal, a quiet side valley in the Tyrolean Oberland of Austria, and the base for the Kaunertal Glacier. The glacier ski area is small but exceptionally high: 31 kilometres of pistes and 8 lifts between 2541 and 2784 metres. Thanks to that altitude, snow here is virtually guaranteed; recent winters measured up to 199 centimetres and 3 centimetres of fresh snow fell in the past week. The Kaunertal never became a mass destination: Feichten remains an easy-going farming village with hotels and guesthouses along the valley road. The glacier is also known for its accessibility, including for wheelchair users. We list 4 accommodations in Feichten, with prices from 864 euros per person.

The ski area from Feichten
From Feichten you drive up the Kaunertal Glacier Road to the ski area, which lies entirely at altitude: 31 kilometres of pistes and 8 lifts between 2541 and 2784 metres. The runs start right at the upper car park, a rarity in the Alps.
The terrain consists of wide glacier slopes: ideal for carving, technique training and relaxed mileage on consistently good snow. The area is compact, so those seeking new challenges daily should know that in advance. Snowboarders appreciate the park facilities the glacier is known for.
Snow reliability on the Kaunertal Glacier
This is one of the most snow-sure spots in our range: the entire ski area lies between 2541 and 2784 metres, on and around the glacier. Recent winters measured up to 199 centimetres of snow, and 3 centimetres of fresh snow fell in the past week.
At this altitude, December and March are as dependable as midwinter, and the season runs longer than in lower areas. If you want guaranteed snow for an early or late ski holiday, the Kaunertal Glacier almost never disappoints.
The village itself
Feichten is a small, authentic Tyrolean village in a narrow high valley, with a church, a handful of hotels and guesthouses, and farms that have worked the valley for generations. Mass tourism never arrived here.
Evenings are quiet: a few restaurants and hotel bars, no après-ski circuit. Guests choose the Kaunertal precisely for that stillness, combined with the glacier's certainty. The valley also positions itself as an accessible destination; the village and many accommodations are set up accordingly.
Who is Feichten for
Feichten suits winter guests for whom snow certainty comes first: early-season skiers in November and December, spring skiers, and technique enthusiasts who love wide, empty glacier pistes. Families seeking quiet are equally at home.
At 31 kilometres the area is compact, so mileage hunters should pick a larger area. Its accessibility is remarkable: the glacier counts as one of the most wheelchair- and sit-ski-friendly areas in the Alps. With us you book from 864 euros per person.
Practical information
You reach the Kaunertal via the Inn valley motorway towards Landeck, then turn into the side valley; Feichten is a good half hour from the motorway. The glacier road to the ski area is maintained in winter, and ski buses run from the valley.
We list 4 accommodations in Feichten, with prices from 864 euros per person. Thanks to the glacier setting the season is long; November, December and late spring are attractive windows when lower areas are still closed or already closing. Availability is widest in those shoulder weeks.
