Your winter vacation in Tux, located right on the slopes
Winter vacation in the Zillertal
Even from a distance, as you drive up the mountain road, the Hintertux Glacier glistens in the distance. Thanks to its healthy altitude of up to 3,250 meters above sea level, here in Tux-Finkenberg, guaranteed snow and white winter landscapes are a natural given. The Zillertal 3000 Ski & Glacier World unites the ski areas of the Hintertux Glacier, Eggalm, Rastkogel, Finkenberg, Mayrhofen, and Ahorn. Incidentally, this winter wonderland also offers fabulous opportunities for vacationers away from the slopes. And right in the midst of this snowy splendor, the Tuxerhof awaits you as a stylish retreat with direct access to the slopes.
Ski-in, ski-out for maximum skiing fun
Perfect location
If you’re looking for the full package – that is, a centrally located, luxurious hotel with all the amenities you could dream of for your winter vacation, plus the highly sought-after ski-in, ski-out option – the five-star Hotel Tuxerhof is your top choice in the Zillertal.
The finish line for your skiing performance is the hotel’s own ski storage room; the “first prize” is our Alpin Spa, followed by a four-course meal and a well-deserved drink in the fireplace lounge.

Skiing in the Zillertal
Everything's better on skis
202 kilometers of slopes, a glacier at 3,250 meters, and guaranteed snow from October through May: The Zillertal 3000 Ski & Glacier World doesn’t do things by halves. From sun-drenched carving slopes on the Eggalm to the steep runs on the Rastkogel, there’s the perfect slope for everyone.
Those who love extreme challenges can test the “Harakiri” – Austria’s steepest groomed run, with a 78% gradient. Those who prefer counting turns rather than gradients will find their ideal terrain on the wide panoramic runs set against the backdrop of the 3,000-meter peaks. Add to that modern lift facilities, the Rastkogelbahn right outside the Tuxerhof’s front door, and not a single turn without a view.
When you take your first run of the day in fresh snow and the three-thousand-meter peaks all around are glistening, there’s no need to explain why we live and work here.

Winter vacation without skiing
Off the slopes
In the snow-sure high-altitude region of Tux-Finkenberg, the mountain landscape transforms into a vast winter paradise. Discover your own peaceful retreats away from the slopes on a guided snowshoe tour, or feel the soothing crunch of the snow on a hike through the frosty winter forest. From social curling under the open sky to fast-paced tobogganing under the floodlights: here, winter unfolds all its magic off the beaten path.
Winter in the Zillertal
Some guests come for the slopes. Others come for the magic and tranquility of the pristine winter landscape. By the end of the first day, at the latest, you’ve stopped thinking about it, because winter in the Tux Valley is hard to explain. But very easy to experience.
