Hintertux summary

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.

Resorts close to Hintertux include: Finkenberg (11 km), Mayrhofen (16 km), Bergeralm (20 km), Hochzillertal-Kaltenbach (21 km), Zell am Ziller (21 km),

Visitor Reviews of Hintertux

Will be going to the glacier on the 30th Jan and can't wait. This is the 3rd time in a year for me. Went on the opening day of the season: 6th Dec 08 for four days. Fantastic snow and lots of powder as the majority of the slopes opened the day we arrived. The best thing for me about Hintertux is the lack of queues and this is due to the superb lift system they have there. The only time I have ever had to fight to get on a car was the first time I was there on the way back down the mountain. As soon as I found that you can ski from the top of the glacier right down to the village of Hintertux and right up to your car if you parked in the right place, I stopped bothering with the cable car. Apres-ski is limited so if you want a really mad one with loads of bars you had better stay in Mayerhofen but it is a long way from there to the lift systems at Hintertux, Eggalm and Finkenberger. If you don't mind spending an evening in one or two bars then you can 'apres' in Hintertux or Vorderlanersbach at the bottom of both lifts with no problem. One thing you can always guarantee is the snow due to the height and the glacier so if you want snowsure conditions this is one of the places in Europe to visit.
