    Award

    Evaluated by Skiresort.info, the world's largest test portal for ski resorts.
    The evaluation is done as follows

    Advanced skiing, freeriding (powder snow skiing) Kaunertal Glacier (Kaunertaler Gletscher)

    Kaunertal Glacier is home to possibly the steepest slope in Austria, the Black Ibex with gradients of up to 87.85%. The steepness of the slope on the Falginjoch is impressive! Other attractive black slopes start on the Karlesjoch and Weißseejoch. Kaunertal Glacier is a secret tip for freeriders with lots of unsecured off-piste runs and untouched powder slopes. Various unsecured off-piste runs in the ski resort start at the Karlesjoch, Weißseejoch and Nörderjoch and lead to the Ochsenalmbahn lift or the Fernergarten (ski bus). And for thrill-seekers, there is even an off-piste run to the Langtaufer Valley (Vallelunga) in South Tyrol. But beware - you will need a ski guide for this and a transfer back (90 kilometres).
