Ski area Kaunertaler Glacier - Fendels
In Fendels, beginners will mainly find easy and medium-difficulty slopes. Children can let off steam in Bibiland. One particularly beautiful piste is the valley run, which leads past idyllic larch forests. For experienced skiers, the Planggerlift also opens up some steep and sporty runs. Once a week, the fun on the piste is extended into the evening.
On the Kaunertal Glacier, winter sports enthusiasts can ski between 2,180 and 3,108 metres above sea level. Thanks to Austria's highest post bus stop, you can even take the post bus up to 2,750 metres above sea level. The glacier ski area is known for its pleasantly wide and relatively flat pistes. However, it is also particularly popular with freestylers - thanks to the snow park at 2,990 metres - and with freeriders, who can find around 30 km of off-piste runs here. There is also free Wi-Fi in the snow park and in the restaurants.

From Fendels the next night ski area is not far away. It is not located at Kauner Valley Glacier, but in the family-friendy ski area Fendels on the opposite side of the mountain. This is where the popular night skiing takes place in Kauner Valley. Every Thursday, night owls meet up for skiing by night-time at the Sattelboden lift. During the extended opening hours from 19:00 to 22:00, the red piste "Nordabfahrt" is illuminated by floodlight. The piste is 2.5 km long and it is illuminated from Sattelboden down to the valley station. After night skiing, you can make another stop at the popular "Bauernschmaus" all you can eat. Toboggan fans can look forward to an additional 4.5 toboggan run that is illuminated until 22:30. Seperate night ski passes can be acquired in resort.Après ski Feichten
