Now in spring, when "higher is simply better!", the glacier ski area plays its trump card to the full and is a guarantee for 100% snow reliability. A lot of snow has accumulated at this altitude over the winter months, so winter sports enthusiasts now have the very best conditions to get the best of the winter skiing. While at the beginning of the year temperatures were still in double figures below zero, the warm rays of the spring sun are now tickling the skin.
The Hintertux Glacier has the longest ski season in Austria and winter sports enthusiasts can enjoy the best conditions on wide panoramic slopes between 3,250 m and 2,100 m above sea level. The Betterpark Hintertux, Austria's highest and most snow-sure freestyle spot, also opens its doors on 26 April and offers airtime deluxe until June!
In winter, Hintertux Glacier unites with the Eggalm Bahnen, Rastkogel Bahnen, Finkenberger Almbahnen and Penken/Mayrhofen to form the most snow-sure region of the Zillertal, the Ski- & Glacier World Zillertal 3000.
