But not only skiers get their money’s worth: An excellent snow park with superpipe, kicker, rails and boxes promises snowboarders and freeskiers spectacular action.
Among the jewels of the glacier is the panoramic terrace at a dizzying 3,250 meters above sea level, from which you can enjoy a majestic view over the venerable three-thousand-meter peaks. Another highlight is the Nature Ice Palace, an impressive glacier crevasse that has now been opened to visitors and provides insights into the fascinating world of ice.
The testers of the Skiarea have not without reason chosen this place as the “best glacier ski area in the world”. The Hintertux Glacier is a place where the magic of winter unfolds in its most beautiful form.
