Boundless up to 3.250m

Without steps and therefore barrier-free, one can get from the underground car-park in the valley station up 3,250 metres to the summit station of the glacier bus 3 with pushchair, wheelchair etc. Anyone wanting to view from higher up can this year travel on Austria’s highest located passenger lift on to the panoramic terrace on the roof of the summit station of glacier bus 3 – and enjoy from there the splendid view in all directions. The breath-taking view extends from the Großglockner away to the Dolomites and the Zugspitze.

As the official training area of many well-known handicapped sportspersons, the Hintertux Glacier gives proof of its pioneering role as a sports facility suitable for the handicapped.

The restaurants Tuxer Fernerhaus and Sommerberg are fully equipped for handicapped persons (doors, passenger lifts, toilets,...) The Hintertux Glacier holds the IPC/IAKS SPECIAL PRIZE 2005 for sport and recreation facilities suitable for the handicapped awarded jointly by the IAKS and the International Paralympics Committee.
