Winter experiences for families in the Kaunertal

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 use that youthful energy to get them moving with a unique experience of 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,

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 the two special Tyrolean ski areas. Get the best family-friendly accommodation and offers for your break in the Kaunertal!

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 feet on the practice slopes, while those who are experienced or brave can head directly to Snowpark Kaunertal. It is not uncommon for fathers and sons to compete in the line or in the backcountry.

Children who are too young or not that brave will be well-cared for at 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, trampoline, and climbing wall.  
 

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 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 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.

Young skiers go big: with the Bambini Free Pass, the whole family benefits in the Kaunertal! All children under the age of eight travel free when travelling with mum or dad. And not only that: kids between eight and fifteen enjoy a reduced child’s rate. This way everyone can have dessert when taking a well-deserved rest from the slopes!

By the way, the small village lift in Feichten is especially popular with kids! In addition to the practice lift, you can look forward to an exciting "Show on snow" every Tuesday night. Fendels also offers night sledding and skiing every Thursday night in winter.

All good things come in fives! At least when it comes to the natural toboggan runs in Tyrol’s Kaunertal. Skiers of all ages will especially enjoy these routes:

• Schnadiger Weiher (Kaunerberg) and Falkaunsalm (Kaunertal): 2 or 3.5 km through snow-covered spruce forests
• Ögghöfe: 2 km to Feichten, night lighting from 17:00 to 23:00
• Verpeil: 3.2 km from the Adlerblick observation deck to Feichten
• Fendels: 4.5 km

Those who prefer to have solid ground under their feet can choose one of the countless winter hiking trails.
