Feichten in the Kaunertal offers a range of options for a stay: a circular hike through the Verpeilschlucht gorge, cultural monuments and a climbing destination, as well as an indoor swimming pool with a panoramic sauna. The Kaunertal Activity Trail starts and ends at the Quellalpin in the village centre and leads to the Adlerblick and Bergwerksblick viewing platforms. The Ögghöfe farmsteads lie above Feichten at an altitude of 1,450 m; the Verpeilschlucht climbing garden is on the edge of the village, next to the Verpeil waterfall. Other attractions include the Kaunertal Glacier Road and the Advent market in Feichten’s village square.
Hiking, Gorge and Views
The Kaunertal Activity Trail 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 is therefore a circular trail with a named starting and finishing point and two specific viewpoints. If a hike is your main consideration when choosing your stay, these are the key points to bear in mind: the gorge is part of the route, and the two platforms are the explicitly named viewpoints.
The Verpeilschlucht climbing garden is right on the edge of Feichten, next to the Verpeil waterfall. It is a separately named destination, distinct from the Activity Trail, which passes through the gorge and leads to two viewing platforms. This makes it easy to choose according to your preferred focus: a circular hike with several named waypoints or the climbing garden at its specific location.
Cultural Monuments in and above Feichten
Feichten Parish Church is dedicated to the Holy Trinity and was built in 1792. Its dedication and year of construction offer two different points of reference: the dedication identifies the church’s religious association, while the year places its origins in time. Above Feichten, the Ögghöfe farmsteads stand at an altitude of 1,450 m. They are valuable cultural monuments and the oldest farmhouses in the Kaunertal. The cultural significance of these sites also differs: for the church, the dedication and year of construction are most relevant, while for the farmsteads, their location and status as the valley’s oldest farmhouses are key.
Indoor Pool and Glacier Road
The Quellalpin Kaunertal in Feichten has a modern, sustainable indoor swimming pool with a panoramic sauna. The pool is supplied with gently treated spring water from the Kaunergrat Nature Park. The Quellalpin is also the starting and finishing point of the Activity Trail in the village centre. It is therefore both a reference point for the hike and a destination with an indoor pool and sauna.
The Kaunertal Glacier Road leads from the valley village of Feichten along 29 stops to the edge of the WeiĂźseeferner glacier. Its route differs considerably from the Activity Trail: the road runs from the valley village to the edge of the glacier, while the hike starts and ends at the Quellalpin and leads to the two viewpoints. This comparison helps you distinguish between the excursions by their routes.
Advent in Feichten
A seasonal event is the Kaunertal Advent market in Feichten’s village square. It takes place on every Advent Saturday. If you are planning your trip during Advent, you can take the market into account when deciding when to travel. Check the dates for the Advent season in question before your visit.
