One of the
main attractions of the valley is the Pitztal underground funicular, which
takes passengers from Mittelberg (1736 m) to Mittelbergferner mountain
(3570 m). It’s Pitztaler Gletsther Express – the journey took us 6
minutes, after change on 2840m we continued by cable railway named
Wildspitzbahn
to the highest Cafe in Austria on 3.440 m.
The highest peak of Tirol Wildspitze (3.774 m) is ahead of you …You can
see a marvelous panorama of the Alps from special observation deck.

| A lot of snow :) |
The second
half of day we spent in Kaunertal National Park. I’ll
remember the Kaunertal Gletscherstrasse (glacier road) - the journey by car started at 1400m and ended
at the border of the perennial ice region at 2.750 m. !!! A lot of switchbacks, narrow road and
continually slope up …
At the and
of the road you have an opportunity to visit the glacier - Kaunertal. It was
the second glacier this day – but this time we could see creavasse.

…you could see Switzerland through special telescope.
