The story

Hochfuegen Hightrails Festival in Fügenberg

A single-day trail running event in Hochfügen in the Zillertal valley, centered on the Gilfert circuit's HightrailRun of nearly eighteen kilometers and 1,250 meters of climbing, alongside a shorter family-oriented four-alms route and a short children's race, all held on the same August day, with the event also certified under Tyrol's Green Event Label for its environmental organization.

The signature route at this single-day Zillertal trail event follows the Gilfert circuit, climbing from the Loassattel saddle to the summit along what local organizers describe as one of Tyrol's most scenic ridgelines, before looping back down into Hochfügen.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

The shorter "4-Almen-Run" route is named for and passes four separate alpine huts along its course, giving it a distinct identity beyond simply being the beginner option

02

The mystery stays covered

The event holds Tyrol's Green Event Label environmental certification, and structures a single day around three distinct tiers — an elite Gilfert-circuit ultra route, a family-oriented fun run, and a children's race — rather than spreading distances across a multi-day festival

03

The city starts moving

The main HightrailRun's roughly 1,250 metres of climbing across under eighteen kilometres makes it a notably steep, technical route by regional standards, following what local organizers describe as one of Tyrol's most scenic ridgelines
