Summary
For guaranteed good snow, Hintertux is simply one of the best places to go. Its glacier is not only extensive; it arguably has the most challenging and interesting runs of any lift-served Alpine glacier area. But the quieter, friendlier, non-glacial slopes down the valley, linked to the slopes of Mayrhofen, are also well worth exploring.
