Trail information
Hochzillertal above Kaltenbach and Hochfügen in the valley next door have been connected by lift for over twenty years and are sold as one area. The vertical is almost 1,800 metres - from 600 in the Ziller valley to 2,378 at the top - and the valley run from the Öfelerjoch down to Aschau stretches eleven kilometres. Snowmaking covers a hundred per cent, which at that base elevation is a necessity. Hochfügen sits in a high basin and is known for something else: freeriding that stays untracked well into spring.

What visitors say about the resort
Kaltenbach is praised for its snow: its northern exposure and elevation of up to 2,500 m keep the snow cover for longer than at neighbouring resorts in the Zillertal, and the pistes are almost always perfectly groomed. Visitors highlight the link with Hochfügen, which together provides around 90 km of skiing without the crowds.
The climb is a common complaint: the gondola from the valley is long, and queues form in the morning. Another issue is that the village below is so quiet that it can be boring, with nowhere to go in the evening. Visitors also note that the valley run is not always open, so they have to return by lift.
