The Spieljoch Show Mine above Fugen in the Zillertal is claimed to be the highest show mine in Austria at around 1,860 meters, accessible by the Spieljoch cable car. Guided tours take about 1-1.5 hours through old mine tunnels showing how the Tyrolean mountains were worked for ore before the region’s economy shifted to tourism. Bring a jacket: mine temperatures are cold year-round. Check spieljochbahn.at for current tour times and combination tickets with the cable car. Book ahead as group sizes are typically limited.
