Hintertux / Tux valley

Austria

Hintertux summit

The upside

  • Hintertux has one of the best year-round glaciers in the world
  • Lanersbach’s slopes, a little way down-valley, form part of an extensive area, linked to Mayrhofen
  • Wide-ranging area lift pass
  • Some excellent off-piste
  • Quiet, traditional villages

The downside

  • Not ideal for beginners or timid intermediates
  • Not surprisingly, glacier slopes can be cold and windy

    Summary

    For guaranteed good snow, Hintertux is simply one of the best places to go. Its glacier is not only extensive; it is also one of the two most challenging and interesting lift-served glacier areas in the Alps (along with Stubai). But the quieter, friendlier, non-glacial slopes down the valley at Lanersbach, linked to the slopes of Mayrhofen, are also well worth exploring. Both of those resorts get their own pages on the site.
