The kids and beginners area which is located near Sommerberg is currently not available. We gathered some information on this site so that you can find your beginners area at Hintertux Glacier no matter which time of the year.

Autumn


December - April

In spring and fall, the family ski area around the Sommerberg is not in operation. As soon as the ski season is open, the practice area is now located at the base of the glacier, which can be reached via the mountain station of the 10er Gefrorene Wand Bahn.

How to get to the
training ground

You can get to the training lift for beginners at the Gletscherboden from the top of 10er Gefrorenrene Wand.  In order to get there you can use Gletscherbus 1 and 2 and afterwards the 10er Gefrorene Wand.

Gletscherboden

To get there, take the 10er Gefrorene Wand lift to the mountain station. From there, a shuttle service to the practice area and back is available on request for absolute beginners. If you need the practice lift, please contact us in advance or book a ski instructor. We will then organize everything else for you.

Take blue slopes
where possible

Once you feel confident on the practice slopes, we recommend moving on to blue runs, for example at the Olperer T-bar lifts. These are ideal for taking your first turns away from the practice area.

The kids and beginners area which is located near Sommerberg is available in this period. Here is everything you need to know. 

How to get to the
training ground

You can get to the training area near Sommerberg by taking either the Gletscherbus 1 mountain railway or the 8er Sommerberg from the valley station.

Once you are on the mountain station of the first mountain railway, you go straight and find the funny express to your right after passing the Sommerberg restaurant. You go up there and find a flat area to get a feel for your skies or board

Take blue slopes
where possible

Once you have gathered your first experiences, you can improve your skills on the blue slopes (easiest slope category). We recommend you to move next to the Ramsmoos lift. Once you are ready, the next step would be the blue slopes at the 4er Tuxerjoch. 

Ski School

Make your first turns safely

We recommend booking a ski or snowboard instructor for your first turns. The Skischule Tuxertal has several offices on the Hintertux Glacier. Just drop by or give them a call!
