Hochfilzen

Hochfilzen is a town and municipality in the Kitzbühel district of the Austrian state of Tyrol.

It is located in the Pillersee valley 5 km east of Fieberbrunn.

It is a popular winter sports resort, especially for cross-country skiing.

In 1875 Hochfilzen was joined to the railway network and soon afterwards a military training area was established here.

The training area was once one of the scenes in the Lucona Scandal, which shook Austrian politics at the end of the 1970s.
