Ahorn: Austria's largest cable car

160 people in one cabin, 1,300 metres up in just over six minutes. At the top: wide family slopes, the PistenBock toboggan run and the WhiteLounge, a snow bar with loungers.

GreifenBrücke: 25 m out beyond the cliff edge

The winter hiking trail on the Ahorn crosses a 75 m bridge at about 2,000 m. At the end you stand over thin air, with the whole Zillertal below you.

Hintertux: skiing 365 days a year

Austria's only year-round ski area, up to 3,250 m. And inside the glacier itself is the Natur Eis Palast, a cave of blue ice you can explore on a guided tour.

A skier on the Harakiri, the steep run on the Penken that looks almost vertical

Harakiri: Austria's steepest run

A 78% gradient, so steep that the piste basher has to hang from a winch cable. Make it to the bottom and you'll still be talking about it at dinner.
