Hintertux

Travel Guide
Hintertux which includes mountains and snow
Explore the highest publicly accessible cave in Europe and enjoy Austria’s only summer skiing experience in this pretty town. 

Hintertux Town is best known for its superb ski resort, which offers impressive modern lifts, exciting runs for skiers of all levels and the longest snow season in the country. Non-skiers will also find plenty of entertainment in this lovely town. Admire the views from scenic lifts and viewpoints, or venture into a fascinating subterranean cave.

Join other skiers and snowboarders on Hintertux Glacier Ski Resort’s snow-covered runs. Find more than 37 miles (60 kilometers) of slopes here, including a variety of challenging trails and steep pistes for intermediate and advanced skiers.

Ride the Gletscherbus 3 lift to the Panorama Terrace observation deck, 10,660 feet (3,250 meters) above sea level. The highest point in the Zillertal Alps with lift access, the terrace offers stunning views of the Grossglockner and Zugspitze peaks as well as the Dolomites. Take advantage of the deck’s special telescopes, which will help you identify the largest peaks.

Nature’s Ice Palace is a spectacular crevasse located a short walk from the top station of the Gletscherbus 3 lift. Explore the enchanting natural formation containing ice stalactites, glacial lakes and frozen waterfalls.

Take a guided tour of Spannagel Cave, touted as Europe’s highest publicly accessible cave. Wander through the darkened caverns and discover 7.8 miles (12.5 kilometers) of glacial pot holes and marble seams. 

In the warmer months, ride the Finkenberger Almbahnen lifts up more than 6,873 feet (2,095 meters) to access the picturesque Finkenberg/Penken hiking area. Head down into the Tux Valley for a scenic stroll or to the summit of Rastkogel for striking views over the Zillertal and Tux valleys.

Hintertux Town is served by Innsbruck and Munich airports, 56 miles (90 kilometers) and 124 miles (200 kilometers) away, respectively. Alternatively, take the train to Mayrhofen station for a public bus connecting to Hintertux. Start planning your exciting excursion to see the many natural wonders of Hintertux Town.
