365 days glacier world - spring

When fine sun rays filter through to warm the ice crystal surface of the Hintertuxer Glacier, sun hungry skiers and boarders come out in force to enjoy one of the best times of the year. Skiing on sun-drenched slopes with 100% snow guarantee and guaranteed powder right into the month of May has to be the ultimate ski experience. 

At 3000 metres above sea level, the Zillertaler Glacier Ski Region has 86km of wide, well groomed pistes with plenty of room to manoeuvre and perfect your style. The run down from the highest point at 3250 metres above sea level to the Sommerbergalm at 2100 metres is not only suitable for experienced skiers and boarders, but also an incredible experience for beginners to intermediates.

The Betterpark snowboarder’s paradise next to the Olperer drag lift is an internationally renowned meeting place for world famous boarders to practice their freestyle tricks and ride the glacier’s perfectly groomed pistes.

Hot tip: Ultra-keen alpine enthusiasts can try out extreme cross country ski tours, for example on the Hohen Riffler (3228 metres above sea level), or the Kleegruben ( m) at the Hintertuxer Glacier, Austria’s only all year round ski region.
