Forecast today: Rather cloudy
giving access to one of Austria’s top intermediate ski areas, stretching for miles across the north side of the Tux Valley.
The lift system is very impressive, with new 6-seater and 8-seater chairlifts, plus a whole host of gondolas dominating. However, aside from the infamous Harikari piste, there is little to challenge advanced and expert skiers, unless the park is your thing – the Penken Park is world-renowned. Snow reliability is usually good, but it is worth remembering that the Hintertux Glacier – home to 365-day skiing – sits a short bus ride away up the valley.
The village itself is small, with accommodation mostly in family-run hotels in the village centre, but there are some guesthouses and apartments on the south side of the river. If you’re looking for a greater choice of food, drink and après it is worth heading down the valley to Mayrhofen – the bus ride is only 10 minutes. Getting here is easy from Innsbruck, with the transfer by road taking around an hour.

The next week is looking very promising for most of the Austrian Alps with lots of snow from the Swiss and French Alps making its way over. Temperature levels seem to be hanging around the -5 to 0 degrees for most of the weekend and slowly creep into the + degrees at the start of next week.
Freezing level drops to 500m over the weekend but then shoots up to 2000m and stays at that altitude from Monday onwards.
High Pressure dominates the weekend and then makes a welcome return on Wednesday and looks as though it is here to stay for a while after.
