About Hintertux
Hintertux, or Hintertux im Zillertal - meaning Hintertux in the Zillertal Valley, is a Tyrolean ski resort right up against the Hintertuxer glacier so it is possible to ski here year round. Some of the best places to stay in Hintertux im Zillertal are those close to the glacier, but there are also some lovely options lower down the slopes in the town of Tux.
As well as skiing on a glacier, Hintertux im Zillertal is a great place for outdoor pursuits of all kinds, and some of our Guru’s recommendations pride themselves on helping outdoors-folk get the most out of this beautiful region.
It is an extremely beautiful part of the world. The Ziller Valley is broad, some of it farmland and some of it alpine meadow, leading up to wooded slopes and snowy peaks. And of course the glacier.
Hintertux doesn’t offer a lot in the way of après-ski in the villages, which are mostly made up of hotels and guesthouses, but there’s plenty for kids if you’re travelling as a family.
What not to miss
- Year round skiing! Due to the Hintertuxer glacier
- The beautiful scenic landscape perfect for both winter adventures and walking or hiking in the summer
- A great resort for family holidays
Just remember that the region is busy both in summer and winter months. So if you want to guarantee a room in one of the best places to stay in Hintertux, get organised and book well ahead.
