Glacier Spring at Hintertux Glacier

Now in glacier spring, you can experience the best time of the year in Hintertux with wide slopes, great snow conditions and amazing views up to 3,250 m above the sea. Make unforgettable memories as you carve down the slopes between 3,250 m and 2,100 m while having the amazing Olperer and hundreds of other mountain peaks at your fingertips.
Off the slopes, a visit to the Panorama Terrace, the Nature’s Ice Palace and the Spannagel Cave are among the best highlights in the Zillertal all year round.
