Hippach, west of the Ziller River, is situated in the upper Zillertal. It consists of the village of Hippach on a fan, south of which neighbouring Schwendau is adjoined and since 1973 another settlement on the fan of the Laim Torrent has been part of Hippach. The landscape of the Schwendberg Mountain and the Laimbacher- and Guggelberg Mountain north of it is characterized by numerous hamlets and detached farmhouses. The Zillertaler Höhenstraße Road - once built to gain access to the alpine pasture lands - starts at Schwendberg in the south. Today it is a very popular panorama road for tourists. Several small businesses can be found in the village.
