Hintertux Ski Resort Guide
Hintertux Ski Resort Guide
At the end of the Ziller valley, Hintertux offers year round skiing on a glacier at over 3000m. However, it is not uncommon for the lower half of the mountain to be snow free when everywhere else in Austria has snow. This can cause congestion and long lift queues. The proximity of Hintertux to large urban areas such as Munich (2hrs) means it is often over-crowded at the weekends. There are good intermediate and advanced slopes higher up the mountain although beginners may struggle if the lower slopes lack snow. Off the piste, at Hintertux, there is little to the village except a handful of expensive hotels and a big car park. It appears that Hintertux caters for weekend trippers rather than those staying for a week or two.

Visitor Reviews of Hintertux

What a great place. Have been coming here for the past ten or so years; we love the glacier round, apres-ski also good with live entertainment at the Tenne at the base of the glacier. A very friendly and welcoming place
