Hochzillertal-Hochfuegen: Frequently Asked Questions
Why do piste figures differ?
Regional marketing lists 114 km and 43 lifts, while Skiresort.com measures 89.1 km of pistes plus 4.5 km of ski routes on 38 lifts. Hochzillertal-Hochfuegen counts the two halves and their routes differently depending on the source, so compare like with like.
Who is it for?
Intermediates who want quieter cruising than Penken. Hochzillertal-Hochfuegen spans 600 m to 2,378 m and sits at the mouth of the valley, so it collects day visitors from Innsbruck rather than a week-long resort crowd.
Is it worth a day trip from Mayrhofen?
Yes, if you hold a Superskipass of two days or more, since travel by Zillertalbahn train and ski bus is included. Hochzillertal-Hochfuegen is the furthest of the four Superskipass areas from Mayrhofen.
How snow-sure is it?
The upper terrain reaches 2,378 m, but the Kaltenbach base is at 560 m. Hochzillertal-Hochfuegen therefore holds its high slopes well into spring while valley returns depend on snowmaking.
