Discover Feichten in the Kaunertal

Feichten in the Kaunertal offers a range of reasons to visit: a circular hike, cultural monuments, the Verpeilschlucht climbing garden, the Quellalpin, the Kaunertal Glacier Road, and the Advent market. If you are looking for a hotel, you can first choose your focus based on the reason for your trip. Would you like to go hiking, learn about the history of the village, or plan your stay around Advent? The local attractions offer specific points of reference to help you decide.

Hiking and Climbing

The Erlebnisrunde Kaunertal circular hike starts and ends at the Quellalpin in the village center of Feichten. From there, the route passes through the Verpeilschlucht gorge to the Adlerblick and Bergwerksblick viewing platforms. The start and finish are therefore at the same named location; the gorge and platforms mark the route in between. This provides a clear point of reference when planning your trip if you are considering a hike with a fixed starting point and return destination.

The Verpeilschlucht climbing garden is another activity to consider. It is located right on the outskirts of Feichten, next to the Verpeil waterfall. Hiking and climbing are therefore distinct interests: the Erlebnisrunde is described as a circular hike with named waypoints, while the climbing garden is defined by its location on the edge of the village and by the waterfall. If you are planning your trip around a particular activity, these differences can help you choose your focus.

Church and Historic Farmhouses

Feichten Parish Church is dedicated to the Holy Trinity and was built in 1792. Its year of construction and dedication provide two specific historical points of reference. Above Feichten lie the Ögghöfe farmhouses at 1,450 m. They are valuable cultural monuments and are considered the oldest farmhouses in the Kaunertal. Different aspects of local history are brought to the fore: a church with a documented construction date and historic farmhouses described as the oldest in the valley. If you are interested in cultural history, you can consider these two themes separately rather than treating them as a single attraction.

Quellalpin and the Glacier Road

The Quellalpin Kaunertal in Feichten features a modern, sustainable indoor pool with a panoramic sauna. The indoor pool is supplied with gently treated spring water from the Kaunergrat Nature Park. The combination of an indoor pool, a panoramic sauna, and a named water source sets this apart from the hiking and cultural attractions. When planning your trip, you can therefore consider the Quellalpin as a destination in its own right, regardless of whether your main interest is hiking or history.

The Kaunertal Glacier Road leads from the valley village of Feichten, via 29 stations, to the edge of the glacier at the Weißseeferner. This differs from the Erlebnisrunde in terms of the route: the hike starts and ends in the village center, while the road leads from the valley village to the edge of the glacier. Its destination is also clearly named. If you are weighing up a hike against a road trip, you can include these two different ways of exploring the area in your travel plans without treating them as the same kind of itinerary.

Advent in Feichten

The Kaunertal Advent market takes place in Feichten village square on every Saturday during Advent. The market is therefore a seasonal reason to visit, while hiking, historic sites, the Quellalpin, and the Glacier Road offer other focuses for your stay.
