Wanderlust

Nestled between the Kaunertal Glacier and the Kaunergrat Nature Park, it's hard to escape the love of the mountains at My Edelweiss. More than 250 km of hiking trails. We are happy to give hiking enthusiasts a tip or two along the way.

By mountain waters

Hiking and water, the perfect combination on hot summer days. You can follow the rushing water to lofty heights and the Seelesseen lakes, the Verborgener See or along the Mühlbachsteig trail. The Holderli Seppl via ferrata takes you on a spectacular route over thundering waterfalls. Not refreshed enough? Rafting tours are available on the Inn in Prutz. There is also a popular bathing lake in Ried. 

Valley of the mountaineers

Rock climbing, via ferratas, Alpine tours and glacier crossings – Kaunertal is a vertical feast for the eyes. Safely roped in, the Kaunertal mountain guides take their guests on tours on request.

Cooling down in the glacial summer

Eternal ice, blossoming alpine roses, rare bearded vultures and the largest ibex colony in Austria – you will get closer to the power of nature than ever before at the back of Kaunertal, very close to the Gepatschferner. 

84 three-thousand-metre peaks, 700 butterfly species, 1,000 ibex and the 3,518-metre-high Weisseespitze – three of the many eye-catching features of the Nature Park region

E-Biking & Cycling

Alpine tranquillity on two wheels: Popular with road cyclists are the 27 switchbacks leading to the glacier restaurant at nearly 3,000 metres. Great hut destinations can be reached via forest tracks. Away from the main hiking trails, there are many routes that are often deserted. Perfect for e-bike tours, bikes are available to rent directly at the hotel. For those seeking action, the Bikepark Serfaus-Fiss-Ladis is just a short trip away.
