About the area

Hochzillertal-Hochfügen in Tyrol offers 81.03 km of marked pistes: 30.32 km blue, 33.59 km red and 17.12 km black. Reds make up the biggest share, so confident intermediates have the most to work with. Beginners are genuinely well catered for — 37% of the pistes are green or blue (30 km), there are 2 magic carpets for first turns and 23 short easy runs sitting right next to a lift base, which also makes it a sensible family choice. Experts come with caveats: 21% of the terrain is black/expert/freeride (17 km), with a single run dropping 1023 m of vertical.

The network runs on 35 lifts: 11 chairlifts, 6 gondolas, 8 T-bars, 4 platters, 4 rope tows and 2 magic carpets. The 6 gondolas help with small children, since there is no chairlift loading involved. Skiing starts as low as 553 m and reaches 2373 m, so the upper slopes hold snow better than the valley runs. The longest descent measures 3111 m, and 2.04 km of piste is floodlit.
