Out and about in nature
Hiking
In summer, Hochfügen is a starting point for hikes in the Zillertal Alps. Numerous trails of varying lengths and difficulty begin directly in the village—from easy alpine pasture walks to longer tours with summit destinations. A new themed trail, “Life on the Alpine Pasture,” complements the offer and provides insights into the alpine cultural landscape around Hochfügen.
The altitude ensures pleasant temperatures and wide-open views. Away from heavily frequented areas, the mountain landscape can be experienced in a शांत and relaxed setting.
