Mountain Hike
Spieljochbahn - Hochfügen

This enjoyable hike of intermediate difficulty begins at the top of the Spieljochbahn cable car at 1,862 metres above sea level and leads all the way to Hochfügen (1,474 metres), passing through lush meadows offering fabulous views of the Zillertal Valley and the Inn Valley as far as the Karwendel Mountains the the mighty Kellerjoch peak. There are six huts along the way (some closed to the public, others open to the public and serving food). One, the Gartalm, even has its own museum. The trail is gentle and therefore suitable for families with children.
