The Hintertux Glacier is the only remaining resort offering skiing 365 days a year in Europe, and it's easy to get here from Mayrhofen and the rest of the Zillertal Valley.
Sitting at the end of the Tux Valley, an offshoot from the Zillertal, the Hintertux Glacier offers up some of the world’s most snowsure skiing. The slopes extend from 1500m in the valley to an elevation of 3250m on the iconic Gefrorene Wand and cover 60km – most of which are either on the glacier itself or are covered by a comprehensive snowmaking system. Much of the terrain suits intermediates, but there are some steeper challenges and once the snow cover has built up during the winter, there are some good off piste options too and the Better Park is one of the best around
Although most visitors come for the day up from the Zillertal Valley at resorts such as Mayrhofen, Zell am Ziller and Finkenberg, there is accommodation at the foot of the lifts or a kilometre down the valley in the small village of Hintertux. Both are quiet options, but its possible to ski back down to both at the end of the day (in the winter months at least).
As mentioned, there’s skiing up here all year round, making this one of the most popular summer ski areas in the Alps. Numerous race teams, the world’s best freestyle athletes and skiers keen to polish their technique ahead of the upcoming season flock here during the summer months. Unlike many other glacier resorts, the slopes at Hintertux have struggled less in recent years and decent skiing can usually be found in August and September when other places are closed.

Austria
Updated 04/02
Continuing fine, dry and bright conditions can be expected across the Austrian Alps throughout this week as high pressure remains camped out above the continent. Some cloud cover will pass as the week continues, with almost unmitigated sunshine on Thursday and Friday.
The freezing line will be incredibly predictable throughout this period – dropping to around 1,500m overnight but climbing to 2,200m during the midday sun. This will bring temperatures of about +1°C during the day and -5°C overnight at 2,000m.
More unstable weather is expected to move in as the new week begins, bringing with it some snow. Temperatures are so far expected to remain as they were, but may well rise alongside this, however, so expect much needed relief to be limited to higher ground.
