Ski Hintertux and get the thrills of Europe's most challenging glacier skiing and snowboarding. All year-round winter sports including a 12km long run. Pistes for all abilities at up to 3250m altitude - perfect!

Where?

If you ski Hintertux, you can choose anytime in the year for your ski holiday. As the whole resort is glacier skiing and snowboarding, you'll find challenging slopes whatever the weather elsewhere. Sharing the Zillertal Superskipass, this resort offers stunning views of the surrounding mountains over to Finkenberg and even Mayrhofen. Access is a pain unless you can fly into Innsbruck which has a 90 minute transfer. Salzburg and Munich are close to 2.5 hours on a good day.

On the slopes

Ski holidays in Hintertux ski resort allow you to ski the Tuxer Glacier - with skiing as high as 3,250m it offers steep, challenging slopes all year round, and is used by many national ski teams during the summer months. Intermediate/advanced skiers and boarders will really enjoy the challenges and if you like off piste then you will have plenty to keep you busy.

Hintertux is also one of the resorts covered by the 'Zillertal Superski' pass, with a total of 455km. As a freestyle boarder or skier, you have a good terrain park as well as some half pipes to play with. Any other fun you want you may have to look for the lips of the pistes and also the off piste areas themselves - there sure are plenty.

Ski area

If you ski Hintertux you are also in the ski region of Zillertal.

Off the slopes

Despite the resort name, there's no village called Tux - rather, it's a collection of villages, Lanersbach, Juns, Madseit and Hintertux. However, there's the Tux Sport bus which circles around so you can easily stop off wherever you fancy - there's a great selection of restaurants, pubs, bars and clubs for every taste and budget. Other activities include a sled ride on one of Tux's three illuminated tracks, snowshoe hikes, and over 38km of prepared winter hiking trails.

WE LIKE

  • One of the best glaciers in the world and lots of great reds to keep you busy. This is glacier skiing at its best.
  • Linked to other large ski areas of Zillertal and has a 12k run from the Gefrorene Wand to the bottom.
  • Excellent off-piste opportunities and great snow quality and conditions. Only 90 minutes from Innsbruck.

WE DON'T LIKE

  • Few shops and very quiet après-ski - this is not a not a party town. A better option is to stay in Mayrhofen.
  • Not ideal for beginners as there are few easy runs. Lower slopes can also get very crowded.
  • Glacier can be cold and bleak in mid winter - plus no tree-lined skiing!
