The Felbertauern Tunnel (German, Felbertauern) is a 5.3 km long tunnel located in the Austrian Alps. It connects the East Tyrol region in the state of Tyrol with the Pinzgau region in the state of Salzburg.
Construction began in 1962, and the tunnel was opened in 1967. Unlike most other tunnels in Austria, the Felbertauern Tunnel consists of one single tube. Approximately 4,000 vehicles traverse the tunnel per day, of which about 7% are trucks. Bicycles are not allowed in the tunnel, but a bicycle transport service is available.
The total length of the Felbertauern Tunnel is 5,313 meters (5.3 km), making it one of the eleven longest tunnels in Austria. Its highest point is situated at an altitude of 1,650 meters (1.65 km). Paying a toll at the southern portal is required in order to traverse the tunnel.
