Autumn
Autumn enchantment and the first forays onto the slopes
There is plenty to discover in Tirol in autumn: wonderful hiking trails , bike trails, traditional festivals , such as the ceremonial driving down of cattle from the mountain pastures into the valley and the harvest festival, farmers’ markets, and the first skiing experiences on the Kaunertal glacier, where snow is guaranteed. If the weather has other ideas, there are also countless indoor options for enjoying your time here to the full. One of these is the Quellalpin Kaunertal in Feichten, which has a swimming pool, sauna area, gym, climbing wall, skittle alley and much more.
The region also has an abundant cultural offering.
