Hintertux Glacier

Hintertux Glacier in Tyrol is one of Europe's most spectacular alpine destinations and the only glacier in Austria offering 365-day skiing. Situated at over 3,200 meters above sea level, the destination provides guaranteed snow year-round with wide, perfectly groomed slopes that attract professional skiers, enthusiasts, and teams from around the world. The modern Hintertux Glacier ski area is renowned for its efficient gondolas and panoramic lifts, which quickly transport guests to the high alpine terrain with expansive views of Zillertal and the Austrian Alps. A unique highlight is the Natural Ice Palace – a fascinating ice palace within the glacier, where visitors can explore shimmering ice caves, frozen waterfalls, and underground lakes. When the snow retreats in the valleys, the area transforms into an impressive summer destination with high alpine hiking trails, glacier treks, and opportunities to experience raw nature up close. The combination of eternal snow, advanced infrastructure, and authentic alpine ambiance makes Hintertux Glacier a standout destination year-round.
