    The evaluation is done as follows

    Ski lifts at the ski resort Kaunertal Glacier (Kaunertaler Gletscher)

    At the Ochsenalm at 2,150 m, a 4-seater chairlift with a drive-through mid-station starts. Since 2021, the 10-seater gondola lift Weißseejoch has opened up new attractive slopes from the mid-station. At the glacier parking lot at 2,750 m, where the 4-seater chairlift also arrives, the 8-seater gondola lift Karlesjoch and, since 2019, the 100-seater Funifor Falginjoch—a wind-stable aerial tramway—both start. Both lifts reach over 3,100 m.

    On the glacier, two drag lifts open up additional slopes. A conveyor belt at the glacier parking lot completes the offer. In addition, a piste groomer (Schneetaxi Nörderjoch) transports winter sports enthusiasts to the Nörderjoch (3,062 m). All lifts are barrier-free.
