The Pfunderer valley with the village of Pfunders

The Pfunderer Tal ( Italian Val di Fundres ), also simply called Pfunders , is a mountain valley in the South Tyrolean part of the Zillertal Alps . It is an orographically right side valley of the lower Pustertal , which leads northward into the mountains near Niedervintl . It is drained by the Fundres Bach .

The valley is surrounded by the so-called Fundres Mountains . These also enclose the Valler Tal , which runs parallel to the west, and form the mountain range in the north to the Pfitscher Tal and in the northeast to the Mühlwalder Tal . The highest peaks tower over the rear valley sections, where the Pfunderer valley branches into several branches: These include the Niedere Weißzint ( 3263  m ), the Grabspitze ( 3068  m slm ) and the Wurmaulspitze ( 3022  m slm ). The area is made accessible for mountaineers through the Pfunderer Höhenweg , which leads past the Edelrauthütte ( 2545  m slm ) on the Eisbruggjoch, a transition into the Mühlwalder valley. In the area of ​​the valley exit the mountains only reach heights below 3000  m , about the east side the Hochgrubbachspitze ( 2819  m slm ) and the Eidechsspitze ( 2738  m slm ) or the west side the Gitsch ( 2510  m slm ).

The most important settlements in the valley are Weitental in the narrow entrance area and the higher-lying Pfunders , where the landscape widens to a valley basin. Administratively, the Pfunderer valley belongs entirely to the municipality of Vintl .
