Magnificent deep powder snow slopes on the Geolsalm and the 7 km long valley descent right down to Fügen are perfectly suited for even the most experienced rider. As a little taste for the Peak-to-Peak conntection of the ski areas Hochzillertal-Hochfügen and Spieljoch in the winter of 2018/19 an hourly ski bus connection between the Spieljoch valley station in Fügen and Kaltenbach in Hochzillertal has started operating this year.
A special highlight is the night-time ski run on the floodlight pistes in Kaltenbach, which can be experienced once per week. Freestylers can also find the popular Betterpark in the ski area as well.
Après ski Bruck am Ziller (Zillertal)
Whoever has had enough of skiing and apres ski hustle-and-bustle can find a relaxing alternative programme in and around Bruck am Ziller . Several hiking trails run from the resort to the picturesque mountain world, such as the 2 hour long tour to the Spitzerköpfl (809 m), or the panoramic hiking trail to the Reither Kogel (1,336 m). However, to reach this 2.5 hour long trail, you will need to navigate your way up with the Reither cable car. A less sport-intensive alternative, one which helps you get to know the area a little better, is a ride with the nostalgic Zillertal train. Zillertal is not hard-pressed to offer romance and a stress-free experience. For water lovers, a trip to the adventure-thermal bath of Zillertal near Fügen is worth the visit.

Snowpark: Snowpark Betterpark Bruck am Ziller (Zillertal)
Especially recommendable is the "Betterpark" in the ski area of Hochzillertal-Hochfügen, of which can be easily reached with the ski bus from Bruck am Ziller. The park is situated immediately next to the 8-person chair lift, "Schnee Express," at an altitude of 2,120 m. You can find 3 lines of various levels of difficulty in the park, from beginners to intermediates to experts. An additional treat is the Jib line at the end of the park, which offers diverse boxes and rails to test out. The biggest highlights, though, are easily the XL-Kicker, which promises viewers from the chair lift an impressive show, and the 100 m long Superpipe, which can be found somewhat below the park at 1,950 m altitude. After a long day of freestyling, or just for a short pause between runs, the Chill Area invites you to linger on their lounge chairs and treat your ears to an appropriate sound system.
