Bought the cable tickets, 42 euros for adults, 24 euros for children between 1-18 am and free for kids 10 and below. You have to switch at. 2 stations till you get to the top at 3300m. It was cold…1 degree C in mid Aug. wear your trek shoes. Kids can have a ball on slopes. The second station from the too at 2600m is worth a stop to get upwards virw if the glacier. One can also see first hand how the people are battling global warming and how they are protecting the glacier.Visited August 2024Traveled with familyWritten August 19, 2024

19/01/22 I bought two 59.5 euro tickets in Mayrhofen (Penkenbahn) with plans to ski in "Hintertuxer Gletscher", but when come to it they said that my ticket is not valid and i need to buy another one (+ 2*59.5 euro) so i did it).
On their site, big lightbox near cash desk, different printed material (=everywhere) 1st seller (Mayrhofner Bergbahnen AG) puts "Hintertuxer Gletscher" in the left-up corner so everyone could understand this is included, this one area, but in reality NO and to my mind it is false advertising.
Finally i pay twice for same 119 + 119 euro and the cashier at Penken spoke with the boss and refused the moneyback, turning this case into a chargeback complaint for my bank.
As about connections among "Mayrhofner Bergbahnen AG" and "Hintertuxer Gletscher" owned by "Zillertaler Gletscherbahn GmbH & Co KG" (it partially owned throw Zillertaler Seilbahnen GmbH) so together such "individual ski resorts within Zillertal" took my money twice for ski in one day, and ready for all to keep it.
As about ski - not wort all this, small but not well prepared area and few old ski lifts (+some was stopped)

Good morning! Just wanted to say that most of the people working here are the most unfriendly I’ve ever seen. For this 70€ of going up on the mountain I would rather buy a plane ticket back home. Also very racism and making fun of people. Like saying holzkopf or sleich di. Have a nice day! Don’t forget to drink wine and feel fine

Must-do activities in Hintertux and the surrounding area if you want to do something other than walking. Total cost of the experience: €48 cable car, €39 Eis Palast, in short, count at least a hundred euros simply to "access" this experience. Bear in mind that you must know English well and arm yourself with a lot of patience since first a 20-minute explanation is given in German and then a general explanation is given in English. Dress for winter, but above all with trekking shoes or mountain boots as you will cross snow and ice to get to the start of the tour. Overall positive experience, a little expensive for my tastes. Once is fine, twice is already too many.

Beautiful glacier. You go up to 3250mtr in 3 stages.
At the checkout we were told to wait 10min because it was cheaper 11.45 instead of 11.30
On the glacier bought tickets for the ice cave. Also a great experience.

We contacted the resort prior to driving 6 hours to check if it was suitable for beginners. Our children (7/9) had only skied once before. The resort assured us it was suitable for beginners.
This is just not true.
To access any blue run (beginners) you have to do a red run. This was a disaster and ruined the trip.
Do not go here if you are a beginner skier.

We came up the gondola to walk along a guided hike which was wonderful for families even with small children. There were several points of interest marked up along the trail, with different activities and things to explore - water play, as well as digging for "gems", etc. Beautifully laid out and easily done with a 4-year-old. Really recommended.

We took the cable car up to 2100 meters and had a beautiful view of the valley. You didn't see enough of the glacier here and not many mountain peaks either. Afterwards I regretted that we had not gone to 3200 meters. There was skiing there and you will be able to look more over the peaks. So next time I'll go all the way to the top. All in all a nice experience.

Hi,
We have a 8 year old kid and we are coming for a holiday in innsbruck on 1st Ocotber. He wants to visit a place with lots of snow. We dont come from a place where there is snow hence the Skiing is out of question. Is it worth the place to visit if we dont know skiing, what all we can do there if we want to spend 3/4 hours. Can he actually touch the snow and play or the area is restricted to only people skiing
Regards

Other than skiing I’m going to hintertux in A week. Can any give me any good tips to do ?
Written August 18, 2019
Hi. Using your lift pass you get access to the train system that links Mayerhofen to Zell Am Ziller. Travel down the valley and have a go on their mountain toboggan! It’s loads of fun and only cost €12.00 per person for 3 goes! There is a restaurant situated almost directly outside of the gondola station overlooking the toboggan which serves the best food mate! It’s very reasonably priced also.
You can swim inside the Hintertux Glacier at this time of year you know! Yes, I said swim. I’ve never done it but our guide, Dominic mentioned it.
The free bus service that you can use on your ski pass is brilliant. Mayerhofen is a big place mate.
In the centre of Mayerhofen there is a most splendid church, it’s ancient and looks beautiful at night when it’s illuminated by coloured spotlights.
There’s a cinema if you want to have an evening of relaxation with your mates and there are literally hundreds of places to eat! Enjoy the glacier, it is stunning and Dom, the guide is such a nice guy!

Hi! I would ask you if there are slopes for begginers to snowboard open during the summer and if it's possible to rent there all snowboard equipment. Thanks!

Hello, I would Like to know if it has snow on summer...next week specifically. And if you rent clothes
Written June 30, 2019
Yes, you can go skiing in Summer and also rent clothes at Sport Nenner. You should know that skiing is (only) pretty in the early morning.

Olá, durante a noite tem alguma opção para subir na geleira e comer em algum restaurante ou bar? Qual o último horário de retorno do bondinho?

Is this a good place to go for people who can’t ski? Visiting Innsbruck soon and I want to be able to go to places with a lot of snow, however, I am not a skier. Just looking for a place to walk around and take in the scenery.
Written March 17, 2019
Hello. Yes that is possible. You can use the lifts to get to the top to enjoy the view and the snow. There is actually an attraction up there - a snow/ice cave that is much easier to see if you are not in skiing boots!
Enjoy your visit and remember to bring warm clothes - winds can be very strong on the top.
Written March 17, 2019
Hi, I'm getting conflicting information on their website. Does anyone know if Hintertux is open June 26/27 for ice palace, snow tubing, or skiing?
Also, is there is a separate ski rental fee like in the U.S.,or does this lift ticket include the use of skis? I cannot find any information about this on their website.
Thank you so much for any and all help you can give me! Our trip is already short, and I don't want to waste a day there for nothing if it's closed!
Written April 24, 2018
Renting ski equipment and renting a ski pass for the lifts are paid for separately.

Thinking of going to Hintertux with the kids. Are there any blue runs for them? Is it a nice area to stay for a week? Or better to stay in Mayerhofen and go up for the day? Thanks.

Is it worth it to go to the park opening weekend since it probably will be very crowded or is it better to visit a week later ?
Written September 13, 2017
Not sure as never having attended the opening. My inclination would be to avoid the crowds (and queues) and go a week later.
