The Skiers' Guide to Fügen - Spieljoch

One of my favourite places. Great snowboarding and fabulous people.Efficient lift system and a real mix of terrain in beautiful surroundings

This is one of three resorts available in the fugen area. Alongside Hochfugen and Hoch-Zillertal.The lift from the town centre of Fugen takes around 15 minutes to get to the top. When you arrive there is a small button lift to get you started down a nice wide blue run and from here you can ski all the way to the bottom right outside the main Apres ski bar outside the Gondola entrance.There are a good range of nursery runs and prqcirce areas here. There is also a T-bar lift at the far end which will take you to the longer more difficult runs.On the last day spent a reasonable 11 euros to rent out some toboggans. There is a dedicated toboggan run which takes a good 30 minutes to slide down. It comes out at the the half way point of the Gondola station where there is a pretty restuarant with really nice views of the surrounding mountainside.I highly recommend this resort!

Stayed at the foot of the mountain, ski slopes were smooth and it was a fantastic week. Not as expensive as other resorts but not cheap. As a beginner (I had only skied on synthetic slopes prior to this week) the ski school was great and I felt safe as we took to green runs by the end of the week. Didnt have to queue for lifts either which was a contrast to other trips I did after this! Couldnt recommend any higher!
