Part of the highly impressive Zillertal 3000 ski region and the only area offering year round glacier skiing in Austria, the Hintertux Glacier is a great addition to the Zillertal Valley and the Zillertal 3000 ski region, offering an absolute guarantee. The Hintertux Glacier also offers some of the steepest terrain of any of the glacier skiing regions in the Alps making it better suited to good intermediates and better skiers and snowboarders. One other great feature of the Hintertux Glacier is the valley run with a ski piste / route all the way back to the ski holiday resort of Hintertux. Not all glacier skiing areas have a resort at the base-station due to the remote and high altitude nature of the glacier skiing areas but the Hintertux Glacier has a worthy ski holiday resort in Hintertux located at the base-station. A 3 section modern, high capacity and wind resistant ‘Glacier Bus’ gondola takes skiers and snowboarders up to the top lift station at 3250m. From there the skiing spreads widely with the Hintertux Glacier ‘Better Park’ a few hundred metres beneath the summit. The mighty pyramid of the Olperer mountain is a stunning backdrop to this dramatic setting – its towering peak and steep rock face snagging passing snow storms and feeding the glacier with avalanching snow.
