The Kaunertal Glacier is not very large. And it takes a while to get there. But this can be the advantage of this glacier. On weekends where the Pitztal Glacier is completely crowded, you can have good skiing on the Kaunertal Glacier. Furthermore, they have a great terrain park with obstacles from beginner to pro, really cool now and perfectly shaped! Another ski-lift will be ready to start this year.

KAUNERTAL GLACIER SKI HOLIDAYS

The Kaunertal Glacier is located in the region of Serfaus-Fiss-Ladis but is a good distance from any major settlements. This is part of the beauty of the area but also the reason that it is not widely visited by more non-Austrian skiers and snowboarders. The Kaunertal Glacier is located in a remote and real wilderness region with dramatic scenery but nothing beyond the ski lift infrastructure and amenities. Of all the Austrian glacier skiing regions it is the least developed and has no accommodation in the immediate vicinity. Being a glacier, the Kaunertal Glacier is snow-sure and has the advantage of some interesting routes beyond the extent of the glacier down to one of the major chair lifts. It also has an impressive park.

A few drag lifts and nothing for better skiers or snowboarders. But if you want fast, wide, flat cruising then Kaunertal is excellent. Huge jumps in the terrain park.

There is basically almost nothing at the glacier itself and nothing close by as it is a protected park, but down the Kaunertal valley there are some small attractive resorts to stay in.

Nothing really at the glacier but the resorts down the valley are fine for families.

There are one or two bars at the glacier but very little else and everyone there has to drive out so any atmosphere soon dies down.
