The Hintertux Glacier in Austria's Tux Valley is Europe's premier year-round ski destination. It features an elevation range from 1,500 to 3,250 meters, a 1,750-meter vertical drop, and 64 kilometres of well-groomed, snow-sure slopes serviced by 21 modern lifts.
The best time to visit the Hintertuxer Gletscher for full-area skiing is December to mid-April, when the glacier links with the broader Zillertal 3000 area for 206 km of slopes. For reliable glacier-only snow, crisp spring conditions, or off-season summer training, October–November and April–May are ideal.
