More about Hintertux

Hintertux is one of Austria’s most important snow-sure resorts because the glacier offers skiing across a very long season. It is a natural choice for early-season and late-season trips, training weeks and skiers who prioritise snow reliability above nightlife. The village itself is small and quiet, but nearby Zillertal bases and Mayrhofen add more atmosphere if users want a broader trip.

Why choose Hintertux?

Outstanding snow reliability, long season, high-altitude terrain and strong training-week appeal.

Things to know

Quiet village feel and less variety than larger linked non-glacier resorts.
