Summer vacation in the Zillertal

Spieljochbahn in Fügen

High flights for the whole family

The Spieljoch is a real family adventure mountain. In a few minutes you will be lifted from 640 to 1860 meters. At the top, a grandiose panorama opens up to you and a true paradise for children: In the water play park directly at the mountain station, water rafts, logs & Co. invite you to play. Kids can prove themselves and explore their limits in the children’s climbing garden.

Hiking is also popular on the Spieljoch: you can reach the Spieljoch summit in just 20 minutes on the barefoot path. The highest show mine in Austria is about 45 minutes away. Explore underground life on a guided tour.

Tip: Children up to the age of 15 use the mountain railway free of charge.
