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 a side valley of the lower Pustertal, which leads northwards into the mountains near Niedervintl (Italian: Vandoies di Sotto). It is drained by the Pfunderer Bach (or Rio di Fundres).
The valley is surrounded by the so-called Pfunderer or Fundres Mountains. These also enclose the Valler Tal (Italian: Val di Valles), 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 s.l.m.) and the Wurmaulspitze (3022 m s.l.m.).
The area is made accessible for mountaineers through the Pfunderer Höhenweg, which leads past the Edelrauthütte (2545 m s.l.m.) 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 s.l.m.) and the Eidechsspitze (2738 m s.l.m.) or the west side the Gitsch (2510 m s.l.m.).
The most important settlements in the valley are Weitental (Vallarga) in the narrow entrance area and the higher-lying Pfunders (Fundres), where the landscape widens to a valley basin. Administratively, the Pfunderer valley belongs entirely to the municipality of Vintl (Vandoies).
