Snowpark: Snowpark Betterpark Schlitters
The "Betterpark" in Hochzillertal ski area is located right next to the Schnee Expres 8-personen chairlift on an altitude of 2.050 to 2.120 m in the Hochzillertal-Kaltenbach ski area.
The in-park lift easily and comfortably gets you back up the mountain so that you can immediately start your next ride.

An additional treat is the Jib line at the end of the park, which offers diverse boxes and rails to test out.
