Feichten in the Kaunertal: Hiking, Culture and the Glacier Road

Feichten in the Kaunertal brings together several distinct holiday experiences: a circular hike from the village centre into the Verpeilschlucht gorge, historic cultural sites and the Kaunertal Glacier Road, with 29 stops leading to the edge of the Weißseeferner glacier. There is also the Quellalpin and the Advent market in the village square. If you are looking for a holiday apartment, you can choose a location based on the experiences you want: Would you like to focus on a hike, culture, an indoor swimming pool, a scenic road route or a stay during Advent?

Hiking between the village centre and the Verpeilschlucht gorge

The Erlebnisrunde Kaunertal circular hike starts and ends at the Quellalpin in the village centre of Feichten. It leads through the Verpeilschlucht gorge to the Adlerblick and Bergwerksblick viewing platforms. The route and landmarks are easy to follow when planning your day: the start and finish are in the village centre, while the gorge and platforms are the main points of reference along the route. If you want to make a hike with specific destinations the focus of your stay, this route could help guide your choice of location for a holiday apartment. The Quellalpin is more than just the starting and finishing point: it is also home to Feichten’s indoor swimming pool with panoramic sauna.

Church and farmhouses as cultural sites

The parish church in Feichten is dedicated to the Holy Trinity and was built in 1792. Above Feichten, at an altitude of 1,450 m, lie the Ögghöfe farmsteads, considered valuable cultural monuments and the oldest farmhouses in the Kaunertal. The two places offer different points of interest: the church is a building with a specific construction date, while the farmsteads draw attention to the valley’s agricultural architectural history. If you would like to include cultural history in your holiday alongside hiking destinations, these offer two specific points of interest—a church in the village and historic farmhouses above it.

Climbing garden and indoor swimming pool

The Verpeilschlucht climbing garden is right on the outskirts of Feichten, next to the Verpeil waterfall. For travellers weighing up climbing and hiking as different ideas for the day, the locations are clear: the climbing garden is on the outskirts, while the Erlebnisrunde starts and ends in the village centre. The Quellalpin Kaunertal in Feichten has a modern, sustainable indoor swimming pool with a panoramic sauna. The pool is filled with gently treated spring water from the Kaunergrat Nature Park. The indoor pool and sauna offer a different kind of experience from the gorge, hiking trail and viewing platforms; they are a separate attraction to consider when planning your stay.

The Glacier Road and Advent market

The Kaunertal Glacier Road leads from the valley village of Feichten, via 29 stops, to the edge of the Weißseeferner glacier. It offers a different kind of excursion from the Erlebnisrunde: the circular hike passes through the Verpeilschlucht gorge and reaches two viewing platforms, while the Glacier Road leads via its stops to the glacier’s edge. This gives you the choice between a hiking trail with named viewpoints and a road route with 29 stops.

The Kaunertal Advent market takes place in Feichten’s village square on every Advent Saturday. If you are planning a stay at this time of year, you can consider the market as a seasonal attraction; check the specific dates for your travel year.

Choosing the right location for your holiday apartment

If you want the Erlebnisrunde, the church and the Quellalpin to shape your stay, Feichten could be a suitable location to focus on when looking for a holiday apartment. The Ögghöfe above the village are another option for those interested in cultural history, while the climbing garden and Glacier Road offer different kinds of excursions. When choosing a location, first consider which experiences matter to your travel group—hiking, culture, an indoor swimming pool, a road route or a visit during Advent. This way, you can tailor your search to your plans for the stay.
