Hintertux glacier Summer Guide

The Hintertux glacier is sat at the far end of the Zillertal valley about half an hour from Mayrhofen and its highest peak, Olperer rises to 3476m. You can board here any day of the year, and in the summer (May to October) it is open from 8.15 am to 4.30 pm.

For the 29.50 day pass you can board from 3250 to 2660m and access 23km of pistes and a pretty good terrain park.

 

Hintertux Park

The park, designed by Wille Kaufmann, is situated next to the Olperer drag lift. There’s a pro line consisting of 4 10-15m table-tops, and a mortal’s line with 6 kickers.

There’s also a number of a rails, a spine, and last but certainly not least, a 100m half-pipe. You’ll find plenty of accommodation in the small villages close the lifts , collectively called Tux, but if you want any form of nightlife the biggest town is Mayrhofen, and is probably worth the daily commute. http://www.hintertuxergletscher.at
