Spring often combines the best of both worlds here: fantastic skiing conditions on the glacier in the morning, sunshine on the terrace in the afternoon, or the first family adventures in the valley. Families with young children especially appreciate this relaxed time of year.
Springtime at the Hintertuxerhof
Spring is a glorious time. The sun is gaining more and more power. In the valley, nature awakens from hibernation. On the Hintertux Glacier, however, you have fantastic piste conditions well into the summer. So many activities can be combined for families as well as active vacationers. Skiing, hiking, mountain biking, tennis... And someone else is waking up from hibernation. Our panoramic train "Kurt the Glacier Worm" is touring through the Tux Valley again. He takes our guests and their children to the Tux farm and many other destinations.

- Weekly program: e.g. with music evening and tastings
- Sun terrace with glacier view
- as soon as the snow conditions allow it, bouncy castle fun on the playground and trips with our slow train "Kurt, the glacier worm"
- Spring skiing on the Hintertux Glacier with 100% snow guarantee

We liked it very much. Our 6 year old son wants to live here! The child care including all employment opportunities are really varied.
