Skiing in Hochfügen, Hochzillertal & Spieljoch
Three ski resorts – One winter dream
From Chalet Almleben, you have direct access to not just one, but three ski areas in the Zillertal: Hochfügen, Hochzillertal, and Spieljoch. Hochfügen and Hochzillertal are seamlessly connected, offering around 90 kilometers of perfectly groomed slopes – ideal for leisure skiers, sporty enthusiasts, and freeriders alike.
