Whether you are young or old, everyone will get to experience a real high in the Hintertux Glacier ski area. Nature’s Ice Palace at the Hintertux Glacier awaits, with mysterious ice formations and glistening ice crystals in an area shrouded in myth and legend.
Glaciers are and remain a very special natural attraction. No matter what time of year you pay a visit to a glacier, you will always be impressed. From time to time its mightily impressive appearance between bizarre ice fields, crevasses, rock masses and snow dunes engenders even greater respect for this wonder of nature. In the summer you can clearly make out the millennia-old localised layers of ice particularly well when looking down into one of the turquoise blue ice formations.
