Hintertux reviews

Visited hintertux for a couple of weeks in 2023. Had a caravan with us which was in the myerhofen, but if you are flexible and don't spread out, it is possible to stand with a van / caravan even up at hintertux.

Zillertal Hintertux
December 2023
+ plenty of snow
+ well-groomed slopes
+ no queues, few people on the hill
+ large area with 4 systems from the Hintertux glacier down to Mayrhofen, all on the same lift pass including bus.
+ not many families with children and snowboard plows on the slopes
+ ski buses run every 10 minutes in both directions Mayerhofen-Hintertux

- predominantly red pistes for intermediate to professional skiers
- few blue pistes, those that exist are very short or clean transport routes
- the ski bus a must to travel through the entire system
- few descents all the way despite plenty of snow (70cm in the valley) to the valley, usually lift down

Considers Sölden a better alternative with both piste and glacier skiing with longer slopes and no bus journeys between the systems.

Tip, book accommodation near a lift and bus stop so you can reach the entire system

Have been 2 times in Hintertux and it is crazy powerful and beautiful and has really good pistes and also good off piste. This year we drove a day with a guide and it was the best skiing day of my life. Drove some lift near off piste trains in the morning. A ride on the outside of Tuxer Joch Haus with connection down to piste 1a and further down to dalatation. The second scratch from the second last gondola station before the last peak and then down into the hallway on the outside of the 2nd person's piste and then down to the downhill. A lot of ravines and spectacular woods to get through.
In the afternoon we went for a ride in the back of the top station. You go down a short distance for piste 5a sloping skiers left, mop up about 75 m and then walk over a comb. Thereafter, approximately 2,000 meters in unspoilt terrain await down in the valley (southeast) all the way to the pond at Schlegeisspeichel lake. Indescribably beautiful and cool and at the same time very simple and safe off-piste. However, requires some strength and energy.
When we went the road was snowed at the pond so we had to slide, spell and walk about an hour along the road and then taxi to Mayrhofen.
No adventure you go out on your own. Guide is an absolute must and well worth it.

good ski resort with varying slopes.

The Glacier Hintertux with a peak of 3200 meters offers varied skiing for both beginners and offpiste riders. With its height, it is mostly sunbathing and a sunny sunny spring day there is a restaurant at the top of the hill to stop for energy filling.

The first cabin takes you up to the summer mountain alpine, there are backs for those little ones and the park for those who want to laugh at the jump. Next cabin takes you to the next station, tuxer fernerhaus, here are lots of nice red long slopes to find in.
The third cabin will take you to the top. When you get up early you can go fine manchester in the olperer slopes. When you get warm in your clothes you can proceed to the cashier slopes, which are perfect slopes for practicing the carvings.
If you want to get out properly, you can go to Schwartse Pfanne, which gives you 12 km of downhill skiing.

Hintertux actually offers everything and it is also snow proof. For lunch you eat really tasty Austrian cuisine, like schnitzel, gulasch and it's not very expensive.
The apres-skin offers the heels of the ceiling to the umpump music and the tuning is always on top.

Return from Hintertux after the second visit this year. First a turn at the beginning of June and now three ski days in early November. On both occasions the surface has been super. The snowfall in September and October made the slopes soft and nice, okay even in June. Challenging and steep slopes despite glacier, which I have understood is quite unusual. Have stayed at hotels near the gondola on both occasions and like the little village. Sure, no insane selection of bars and restaurants, but good food at the hotels (Neutuxer Hof and Hintertuxer Hof) and good afterski at Tenne Hintertux. The restaurant of 3,000 möh is also the right one. The Zillental Valley is magically beautiful and easily accessible by car from Munich.

Hintertux Gletcher offers great glacier skiing in autumn or even at any time of the year. Three modern, fast and really big egg lifts take up to +3200 meters. Up there are tens of sledge lifts and two seat lifts that serve about fifty kilometers of piste. It may be possible that they should invest a little in these lifts, as the lift queues are not really related to the space in the slopes. However, as much as possible, you get six hundred high meters of well-traveled rides down to the Tuxer fernerhaus where you can, in addition to eating, also take the lift back into the valley. Slightly outdated, and in the sunshine in the morning, you'll find the Kasere lifts with awesome carving. Despite free ski buses running every fifteen minutes, one should be careful to check where the accommodation is located. This then most of the accommodation in the long valley says it is located just next to the glacier.

Visited Tuxen 2010 v.10.

So far, I've been skiing the best place. Lots of snow and huge long and wide slopes. The food is also clockwise. Easy to get to and from Mayrhofen by ski bus.
Try the slopes around the sledding lifts at the top. Folktomt and crazy lovely slopes!
Wonderful skiing simply. Can not find fault.

+ High altitude = Snow proof
+ Wonderful carving pistes
+ Really enhanced and thoughtful lift system
+ Great eateries
+ Long wide slopes

- Take some time to ski a ski bus from Mayrhofen
- Do not have a cabin there :)

Hintertux is really worth I have to say. Have been there around 8 times, so I know, believe me, the pillow is really go! The park is oily around the sports promise, but around Easter it is usually not so well prepared. Hintertux is not the ski resort you choose for the park, much more for the wide and inhumanly long slopes and the wonderful lane between the slopes!

Austria's largest, and also best known as the best glacier. A visit to this ski resort is simply a must in life!

Hintertux is a fat good ski resort with both good park rides and pistes, cushioning rides. However, it is expensive at the restaurant and we saw Jon Olsson last we were there: D
