    Ski lifts at the ski resort Kaltenbach – Hochzillertal/​Hochfügen (SKi-optimal)

    High-performance gondola lifts take you from Kaltenbach up to the Hochzillertal ski area. Modern chairlifts and gondolas, often equipped with weather shields and heated seats, transport guests throughout the Hochzillertal/Hochfügen ski area. There are plenty of rope tows and drag lifts available for beginners. The connection from Hochfügen to Hochzillertal is a modern eight-seater gondola lift. In Kaltenbach, there is the VIP Gondel. This state-of-the-art cabin ensures a relaxed ascent to the mountain. The interior is designed by BMW Individual – featuring leather seats with massage function and a multimedia system from the BMW 7 Series limousine. The ride with the VIP Gondel can be booked exclusively.
