Hintertux Glacier

At its highest point the ski region reaches a height of 3,250 m (10,660 ft) in the saddle between the peaks of the Gefrorene-Wand-Spitzen.

Its height means that there are usually good snow conditions, enabling almost all pistes and lifts to be kept open.

In addition to the winter sports facilities the Hintertux Glacier offers an all-round view of the Alps from just under 3,250 m. The region is also suitable for mountaineering – there are plenty of Alpine huts, some managed all-year round.

[2] To transport the large number of tourists on the Hintertux Glacier, three large gondola lifts of the Funitel type have been built: the so-called glacier buses (Gletscherbusse) where the gondolas are suspended on two steel cables and are able to carry 24 people each.

In order to ensure all-year operations there are 2 cableways in each section of the feeders from the valley station to the Gefrorene Wand.
