Nature Park Exhibition in the Basement of Quellalpin

“With All Our Might. Climate, Glaciers, Kaunertal”

To get you in the mood for a visit to the swimming pool or sauna on the roof – or as an informative experience in any weather: The permanent exhibition “With All Our Might. Climate, Glaciers, Kaunertal” in the basement of Quellalpin offers exciting insights into the topics of climate, glaciers, and change.

The focus is on the Gepatsch Glacier, one of the largest glaciers in the Eastern Alps – a symbol and witness of climate change.

"Even though the Gepatschferner is currently up to 200 meters thick, it shares the same fate as all other Alpine glaciers. Due to ongoing climate warming, it will also lose dramatic mass and eventually disappear entirely – according to scientific forecasts, worst-case in forty, at the latest in one hundred years."

(Exhibition text The Gepatschferner)

Exhibition themes

Global climate research and local climate initiatives explore the connections between climate and glaciers from different perspectives. Using the example of the Gepatschferner, the exhibition also tells stories about the emotional connection of the people of Kaunertal to "their" glacier, from the landscape-shaping use of its water to the scientifically documented consequences of climate change.

Designed by the exhibition architects Columbusnext and the curators led by Petra Paolazzi, the various themes are brought to life in four exhibition rooms. 

Please note: The texts in the exhibition are only available in German.
