Summer
in Hochfügen   

Quiet mountain days at alpine altitude

At around 1,500 meters above sea level, Hochfügen is situated in an alpine pasture area with unobstructed views of the Zillertal Alps. In summer, the elevation and the clear mountain air create pleasantly comfortable conditions.

When the lifts are at a standstill, the focus shifts to what truly matters: Hochfügen reveals itself as a მშვიდ and authentic starting point for mountain experiences in the surrounding area. Hikes through the alpine pastures, themed and family-friendly trails, as well as selected active offerings in the high-alpine environment invite visitors to experience the mountains more consciously. Thanks to its location, Hochfügen is also part of multi-day alpine routes and serves as a stage stop on Alpine crossings.

During the summer months, with accommodations and local businesses open, Hochfügen offers a reduced, nature-oriented experience—providing ample space for movement and relaxation in an alpine setting.
