Austrian Alps, Austria 🇦🇹
The only resort in the Alps where you can ski every single day of the year, Hintertux climbs to a 3250 m glacier at the head of the Zillertal. Snow-sure, high and a serious freeride draw.
Yes. The base sits at 1500 m and the top reaches 3250 m, which puts snow reliability among the very best on our index (score 92/100).
This is more of a valley base than a slopeside village, so expect a lift, train or shuttle to the snow each morning. Staying central, near the main lift, saves the most time.
With 60 km of piste on 21 lifts, it is a mid-size area, easy to get to know over a long weekend. The terrain is balanced (0 green, 18 blue, 28 red, 14 black), which suits a mixed-level group skiing together.
Hintertux stands out for glacier skiing up high and serious off-piste and freeride terrain.
The season usually runs Oct 5 to May 25 (about 33 weeks). For the most dependable cover, the deep-winter window of January to February is the safe bet. The altitude also holds spring snow, so late-season skiing stays good well into spring.
