Fliess: Skiing, Kaunergrat Nature Park and Culture

If you are looking for accommodation for a skiing holiday in Fliess, the most important documented winter connection is the family-friendly Venet ski area: in winter, it can be reached from Fliess by the Venet-Süd chairlift. This makes the village a suitable starting point for a stay focused on winter sports. The information describes access to the ski area, not the distance from or amenities of individual accommodations.

Winter access and natural environment

In addition to its connection with winter activities, Fliess has a clearly documented natural and cultural setting. Fliess is the heart of the Kaunergrat Nature Park. The Kaunergrat Nature Park House at Gachenblick in Fliess is home to an information and service centre for visitors to the region interested in nature and culture. The building also houses a multimedia exhibition about the special features of the nature park. The barrier-free Natur- und Kulturpanorama Gacher Blick viewing platform is located directly next to the Nature Park House. Another prominent viewpoint is the eleven-metre-high Moorturm. From there, visitors can look out over the Latschen Hochmoor raised bog. At Gacher Blick, the focus is on the nature and culture panorama; at the Moorturm, it is on the view of the Latschen Hochmoor raised bog. The Piller Moor has been designated a natural monument as a Latschen Hochmoor raised bog since 1970. Those who would like to learn more about this type of landscape can follow the three-kilometre Moor educational trail in the Piller Moor. Seven stations provide information about the formation of bogs, bog vegetation and peat extraction. The sunny slopes of Fliess are also part of the village’s natural profile. They are designated as a nature reserve in the municipality of Fliess because they are home to an exceptional diversity of animal and plant life, including rare and endangered species.

Culture and the history of routes

For culturally interested visitors, the Fliess Archaeological Museum documents finds from the Bronze Age, Iron Age and Roman period that were discovered in Fliess. Particularly extensive is the Hallstatt-period bronze hoard from Fliess, comprising 386 objects from the 7th and 6th centuries BC. The Alte Widum in Fliess is a protected monument, is considered the oldest house in the village and was first mentioned in a document in 1360. The Roman past can be experienced at several locations. Traces of Roman vehicles are visible at the Fließer Platte. The Via Claudia Augusta Documentation Centre displays a copy of the Tabula Peutingeriana as well as finds discovered along the ancient Roman road in the area of Tyrol. One section of the Via Claudia Augusta between Landeck and Fliess can be walked as a hiking trail. In addition, the Fliess–Puschlin–Kaunergrat Nature Park House–Fliess hike leads from Fliess via Puschlin to the Kaunergrat Nature Park House.
