After the icy winter season, a special start to spring awaits all sun-seekers: powder on the Hintertux Glacier.

One of the world's best ski areas is the Hintertux Glacier, Austria's only year-round ski area. In spring, up to 70 km of pistes are in top form and are just waiting to be conquered by sun-hungry skiers. And when the halfpipes and kickers in the surrounding fun parks dissolve into water, things really get going in Hintertux! And the wait is also worth it for freeskiers and snowboarders, as the perfectly shaped Hintertux Betterpark at the foot of the Olperer (3,476 m) invites you to shred and jib.

The special thing about the Hintertux glacier, however, is that you can enjoy it not only on the inside but also on the outside. In the Natural Ice Palace, you can admire the sparkling world of the inside of a glacier, while in the Spannagel Cave, the largest show cave in the Central Alps, you can marvel at life under the glacier. The view of the Alpine mountain world from the panoramic terrace at 3,250 m is pure pleasure - it's a real piece of paradise and gives you a feeling of boundless freedom.

Spring sunshine, happiness hormones and a 360° flirt meter - these sensations are simply part of the Flower Pow(d)er spring skiing experience. The Tuxer Fernerhaus and the Panorama Restaurant Sommerberg are the perfect places to recharge your batteries. The ultimate non-stop party feeling can be experienced in the numerous après-ski venues throughout the region.
