The Kaunertal is a municipality and alpine valley in the Landeck district in the Austrian state of Tyrol.

The municipality is located about 15 km (9.3 mi) southeast of Landeck at the upper course of the Inn river.

Water from the lake is used to generate electricity through a pipe system 13 km (8.1 mi) in length, located at the south end of the Kaunertal.

The main town in the valley is Kauns (1050 m), located near the Inn river, with its Schranz Chapel containing the Kauner Kreuz.

The main source of income is this glacier ski area with 35 km (22 mi) slopes and 10 lifts, which was opened in 1982.
