Efficient gondola lifts run from Kaltenbach up to the Hochzillertal ski resort. Modern chairlifts and gondola lifts, many with weather-protection covers and heated seats, operate in the ski resort of Hochzillertal-Hochfügen. Sufficient tow ropes and tow lifts are provided for beginners. A modern 8-person gondola lift connects Hochfügen to Hochzillertal. There is also a VIP gondola in Kaltenbach. This very modern gondola offers a relaxing ride up the mountain. The interior was designed by BMW Individual and features leather seats with a massage function and a multimedia system from the BMW 7 Series saloon. You can book an exclusive ride in the VIP gondola.
