WINTER CIRCULAR ROUTE
NEUHÜTTENWEG
Hochzillertal mountain station - Hubertus Chapel
Gentle movement, clear mountain air and a tranquil winter landscape:
The circular trail from the Hochzillertal mountain station to the Hubertus Chapel is an ideal winter hike for anyone who wants to enjoy the Hochzillertal away from the pistes at a leisurely pace. Perfect for relaxing moments in the snow - with panoramic views included.
Deceleration with a view
Starting from the mountain station of the Ski Optimal Hochzillertal-Kaltenbach ski region, the trail initially leads slightly downhill along the edge of the ski piste. After a short time, you reach the Firnhütte and continue past the valley station of the Neuhütten lift to the junction with the Zillertaler Höhenstraße.
The slightly ascending section along the mountain road rewards you with beautiful views of the valley. After a left-hand bend, you reach the fork at Hubertuskapelle - here the path branches off to the right and leads directly to the quietly situated chapel, which exudes an almost meditative atmosphere, especially in winter.
A circular route with moments of pleasure
The way back initially follows the same route to the fork, where the circular trail closes. Now you continue along the groomed winter hiking trail past the Kaltenbacher ski hut and through the Neuhüttensiedlung. Variety and alpine cosiness characterise this section.
At Gasthof Zirmstadl, you can either walk directly along the edge of the piste back to the mountain station or take a short detour to the Platzlalm - just a five-minute walk away and ideal for a short break.
Winter hiking with a feel-good factor
This circular trail combines gentle exercise, beautiful rest areas and a varied route. Whether as a relaxed alternative to a day of skiing or as a conscious break during your winter holiday - the route to the Hubertus Chapel is a real highlight for connoisseurs.
