Fieberbrunn is also the center of the trendy new sport of snowkiting, in which you are towed around on your board or skis over jumps as high as a meter. Besides being a base for hiking and many other outdoor activities, Fieberbrunn has other attractions you shouldn’t pass over. The village church, built in 1214, is dedicated to the patron saints Primus and Felizian. This Baroque church has been substantially renovated 3 times, but still maintains its charm.
