✍️ Our verdict on Glacier de Hintertux

A resort on a human scale, Glacier de Hintertux focuses on the quality of its welcome and its closeness rather than on impressive figures. Its 64 km of runs are perfect for a stay of 3 to 4 days, especially for families or skiers who don't need to constantly find new terrain. Glacier de Hintertux has managed to keep the identity of an authentic mountain village, far from the concrete resorts of the 1970s. People come here for the clean air, the unspoilt scenery and a friendly atmosphere that stands in contrast to the industrialisation of skiing in some large ski areas. When it comes to snow, Glacier de Hintertux is in a strong position with its summit at 3,250 m: even in capricious winters, the upper runs hold up well until April. The village at 1,500 m is also well placed to ensure comfortable conditions from as early as mid-December. Budget for a stay at Glacier de Hintertux is clearly high: 82€ for a day lift pass, plus accommodation and mountain restaurants among the most expensive in the Alps. That is the price of excellence, but you should be aware of it before you go. In short: Glacier de Hintertux delivers on its promises. A Northern Alps resort that will suit most types of skier without disappointing.
