Summer Vacation in the Zillertal

fresh mountain air

Fun and athletic challenges in Tux

Summer is here—what a wonderful time of year. If only it weren’t for the scorching heat in the cities and the discomfort suffered by allergy sufferers and those plagued by pollen. Thanks to our altitude ranging from 1,250 m to 3,250 m, you can enjoy a relaxing summer vacation here in Hintertux in the fresh mountain air, without annoying runny noses or watery eyes.

„The vast alpine pastures with their lush green meadows and colourful alpine flowers, the rushing waters of the Tuxbach stream and the eternal ice of the Hintertux Glacier – that is my Hintertux.“
Klaus Dengg, sen.

A SUMMER VACATION WITH A THRILL

There are many ways to experience the Tyrolean mountains—climbing rugged cliffs and feeling the rock up close as you push your limits is surely one of the most intense. Nine via ferrata routes of varying difficulty levels and three climbing walls, suitable for every skill level, ensure safe and enjoyable climbing during your summer vacation in Tux. In case of bad weather, the indoor climbing gyms in Aschau and Mayrhofen offer an alternative. Water lovers are in good hands with canyoning, rafting, and tubing, while adrenaline junkies can put their courage to the test with paragliding.

ACTIVE VACATION IN THE ZILLERTAL

Hintertux is also ideally situated for an active summer vacation in the Zillertal. There are countless opportunities for outdoor activities. Mountaineers will find plenty to enjoy, whether on leisurely hikes or challenging summit tours: the waterfalls in Hintertux, the Frauenwand, and the Zillertal Alps High Mountain Park promise sublime moments in nature. Cycling enthusiasts can look forward to a 120-km network of trails in the Tux Valley—both mountain bikes and e-bikes are equally at home here. The Hintertux Glacier World offers a cool respite during your summer vacation. The Zillertal Aktivcard is perfect for adventurous guests, and families can enjoy child-friendly activities
