Get to know Hintertux Glacier Ski Resort

Hintertux Glacier skiing resort is exceptionally convenient for skiing throughout the year, and it is located in the Zillertal Alps region of Tyrol, Austria. Unlike most ski resorts, which shut down in summer, Hintertux is open all year round because of its year-round skiing on Gefrorene Wand Keeses and Riepenkees glaciers.

Situated in the heart of the mountains and covering a vast area of 227km, the resort offers 24 Alp-marked slopes for downhill skiing, with 59 lifts for beginners and expert skiers without limitations. Slopes vary from gentle to steep and are among the longest in Eastern Tennessee, making them safe for children and families or exciting for professional skiers.

Hintertux is also much more than slopes – it has impressive amenities such as an ice cave – nature’s ice palace – a panoramic terrace at 3,250 meters – and a thermal bath in Fügen. Apart from skiing, those who want to explore other activities within the area can go mountaineering and snowshoeing or even enjoy the alpine views.

Environmental conservation is a core value since most of the activities that are being implemented effectively spearhead the protection of the subalpine bio-physiological production landscape. Regardless of whether one is interested in improving skiing capabilities, the panorama or the fresh mountain atmosphere, Hintertux Glacier offers an extraordinary skiing experience.

Hintertux Glacier skiing: an overview

It also deserves special mention as one of the most popular skiing destinations for those in search of steady snow throughout the year. Positioned at a lower altitude than some alpine resorts, it facilitates the adjustment to the climatic conditions and longer duration of snow conditions on the slopes. To guarantee the presence of a snow layer on its slopes from October to May, the resort has all the necessary facilities so it attracts skiers during the start of the season and at the end of spring.

It also contains facilities for freestyle, such as the Betterpark Hintertux, the highest freestyle park in Austria, which operates from spring to fall and entails inventive designs for various classes of cyclists.

Prepare for All Weather: Mountain weather can be unpredictable. Packing layers that can accommodate cold, warmth, rain, or shine is crucial.

Hiring Guides: For activities like high-altitude trekking or glacier tours, consider booking experienced guides. Early reservations often secure better rates.

Fitness Preparation: If your itinerary includes strenuous activities like extensive hiking or climbing, it’s beneficial to improve your stamina and fitness levels before the trip.

Communication Preparedness: Mobile reception can be spotty in remote mountain areas. Check the coverage beforehand, and consider carrying a physical map and compass.
Advance Bookings: To avoid stress upon arrival, especially during the peak season, book accommodations and popular restaurants in advance.
