Forecast today: Rain/Snow shower
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.

After a pretty desperate season, bumper conditions finally – finally – arrive for Austria, as it experiences its first Nortstau event of the season through the middle of this week.
Unsettled conditions drifting in from the north will bring with it cold temperatures as the freezing line takes a long walk off a short pier; from a daytime high of 2,400m on Wednesday it will plummet to sea level by Friday morning.
These unsettled conditions will of course mean snow, with good snowfall hitting the Austrian Alps on Wednesday afternoon and continuing steadily until Friday morning; this will see around 45cm fall, particularly focused across higher ground as the freezing line works its way down the elevation chart steadily over this period. Around 25cm will fall on Thursday alone.
Expect the avalanche risk to increase over this period as this new snowfall sits on either wet ground, wet snow, or a spring freeze-thaw crust; plan your backcountry routes carefully, and check your local avalanche forecast before heading out.
Sun returns with gusto on Saturday, before the last few flurries of cloud and snow move in over Sunday and the new week.
