4. winter sports sustainable? You bet!

Sustainable winter sports play a central role on the Kaunertal Glacier. The glacier relies on environmentally friendly measures to combine the experience of nature with ecological responsibility. Modern snowmaking technologies and energy-efficient lifts reduce the ecological footprint, while environmentally conscious construction projects on the glacier support the preservation of the Alpine landscape. In addition, emphasis is placed on the promotion of gentle tourism, with offers such as ski tours and snowshoe hikes away from mass tourism. In this way, winter sports enthusiasts can enjoy the impressive glacier world in a sustainable way and at the same time contribute to the preservation of this unique natural area.

5. enjoyment on the mountain - alpine cuisine on the edge of the glacier

Down-to-earth, regional and honest. The kitchen in the glacier restaurant pays attention to the careful use of resources. For this reason, we mainly use regional ingredients and seasonal fruit and vegetables. In addition to classic dishes, the kitchen also offers typical Tyrolean cuisine.
