Tux-Finkenberg region

At the foot of the Hintertux glacier, in the deepest of the Zillertal valley, and in the heart of the ski-glacier world Zillertal 3000, the delightful holiday region Tux Finkenberg is nestled within the Zillertal mountains. At 3,250 metres above sea-level, snow is an absolute guarantee. This alpine region is perfect for all those hunting perfect snow conditions, but it is also an absolute delight for all hikers and mountain bikers who want to explore the mountains during the warmer months of the year. The two idyllic holiday villages Tux and Finkenberg are both situated in the high-alpine valley Tuxertal, which is a 13-kilometre-long side valley of the Zillertal southwest of Mayrhofen. The renowned ski destination Hintertux is also a part of this holiday region and is situated at 1,500 metres above sea-level at the end of the valley and at the foot of the majestic Hintertux glacier.

The glorious Hintertux glacier has an impressive ski resort, which offers perfectly groomed slopes, high elevation, and reliable snow cover which allows the ski resort to be open throughout the entire year, the only ski resort in Austria to do so. Despite the Tuxertal valley being well established as a tourist destination, the traditional values and ways of life are very important to the locals here. The small hamlet of Gemais is a prime example of tradition here. The village's appearance has barely changed since the 17th century and is officially protected under a preservation order. The cultural centre of the region is the delightful village of Lanersbach. The villages pride themselves on their music events, traditional practices, customs, and especially farming traditions such as the annual "Almabrtrieb". This important tradition takes place in autumn, when farmers celebrate bringing their sheep and Haflinger horses back into the valley after summer months spent on the alpine meadows.

Skiers and snowboarders can pick their favourite ski resort from the many available during the delightful winter months. Winter sports enthusiasts are spoilt for choice with ski resorts such as the Penken in Mayrhofen, the sunny plateau at the Rastkogel, the Eggalm, or even the Hintertux glacier, which allows descents into the valley from 3,250 metres above sea-level. There are so many exciting activities to enjoy here during the winter months besides skiing and snowboarding, such as ski mountaineering, snow-shoe walking, winter hiking, cross-country skiing, and not to forget one of the most fun activities, tobogganing. Enjoy the range of activities for an exciting winter holiday in this spectacular alpine setting.

During summer, this region offers a staggering 350 kilometres of marked hiking trails for guests to explore. Hike up to idyllic alpine lakes, to charming alpine huts, to lush alpine meadows and along forest paths, ensuring a memorable holiday in the Zillertal Alps. One of the most exciting nature walks is along the waterfall-path in Hintertux, past caves, through gorges, over natural bridges to the Kesselfall and Schraubenfall waterfalls. Another highlight is a tour through the Spannagel cave. The natural cave is the largest cave in central Europe and the 10-kilometre-long path ensures a memorable experience. The holiday region Tux-Finkenberg offers interesting activities to be enjoyed by all thrill-seeking guests such as climbing, paragliding, summer-ski and summer-board, as well as guided glacier tours and canyoning.
