Hiihtoalue Hochfügen / Zillertal

Just a stone’s throw away from the Inntal autobahn, the Hochfügen alpine road leads to pure winter pleasure. Once they reach the top, visitors discover a high alpine valley basin that offers breathtaking views over the Zillertal Alps. A crown of white made up of jagged peaks with altitudes reaching up to 2,500 metres above sea level surround the location, where ski runs can be enjoyed all day long during sunny weather. No matter whether on day trips, short breaks or holidays – Hochfügen is the perfect place for visitors to take a little time out from everyday life. The ideal location offers a snow sure winter landscape - when in other valleys the grass still shows or begins to reappear, the Zillertal Valley ski resort at 1,500m to 2,500m above sea level is covered in a glittering cloak of white.

Fans of well groomed slopes, off-piste skiers and snowboarders, ski tourers, winter hikers and bon vivants – Hochfügen fulfils each and every personal winter dream. Guests can enjoy the comforts and the hospitable atmosphere in owner-run accommodation and mountain huts.
