Spieljoch: Frequently Asked Questions
Who is Spieljoch best for?
Spieljoch is aimed at beginners and families with small children. It has 21.1 km of piste on 10 lifts, a magic carpet and practice lift for first turns, and a kindergarten at the base in Fügen.
Is there anything for confident skiers?
Some. The Heiße Kante black run, opened for winter 2024/25, drops 2.7 km, and a 7 km valley descent runs to the village. Beyond that, skiers based at Spieljoch usually use the joint ticket for Hochzillertal and Hochfügen.
How high does it go?
Spieljoch runs from 610 m in Fügen to 2,054 m at the top of the lift system. The low base means the valley run depends on snowmaking and cold weather in early and late season.
Which pass covers it?
The Hochfügen-Hochzillertal-Spieljoch day ticket includes Spieljoch, and the Zillertal Superskipass covers it as part of 546 km of piste on 180 lifts across the valley's four ski areas.
How does it compare with Mayrhofen?
Mayrhofen is nearly seven times larger, with 142 km of piste against 21.1 km, and it holds the 78 percent Harakiri. Spieljoch trades that scale for shorter lift queues, gentler gradients and a cable car that leaves from the village centre.
