HINTERTUX GLACIER SKI INFORMATION

The Hintertux Glacier offers possibly the most challenging skiing of all the glacier skiing areas in Austria. The ski pistes tend to be steeper than the other glacier skiing areas and there is far less than for the beginner than is offered on the other Austrian glaciers. With a top height of 3250m the snow is reliable and throughout the winter the snow quality can be excellent. High winds however can blow away new snow and make for a bracing day on the Hintertux Glacier. This however is also true of all such altitude ski areas. From the main arrival point on the Hintertux Glacier, the Sommerbergalm, the skiing separates into 2 main sectors, although the biggest area is located under the mighty Olperer peak.
