How do you get up to the Hintertux Glacier?
A total of three cable cars are required for the ascent from the valley station to 3,250 m, involving two transfers.
From the valley station in Hintertux, take Gletscherbus 1 or the 8-seater Sommerberg cable car to the Sommerbergalm at 2,100 m. From there, take Gletscherbus 2 to the Tuxer Fernerhaus at 2,660 m. From the Tuxer Fernerhaus, the valley station of Gletscherbus 3 is a short 3-minute walk away. Gletscherbus 3 then takes guests up to 3,250 m to the mountain station with its panoramic terrace. You should allow about 40 minutes for the entire ascent.
The last restroom is located at the Tuxer Fernerhaus at 2,660 m. There are no restrooms on the panoramic terrace!
How long does the gondola ride take to reach the top station at 3,250 meters?
The trip from the valley station in Hintertux to the Gefrorene Wand at 3,250 meters takes about 40 minutes. It involves riding three gondola lifts (Gletscherbus 1, 2, and 3) and changing twice.
When can you go skiing on the Hintertux Glacier?
Thanks to its high altitude, the Hintertux Glacier offers Austria’s longest ski season, running from September through July.
The open slopes and lifts depend on snow and weather conditions. You can find the latest information on which lifts are open here!
