Hintertux Glacier on 09.06.2025 | Jumpman

I cycled from the valley station up to approx. 2200m just behind the Sommerbergalm. I left the bike there and walked up to the Tuxer Fernerhaus, then strapped on my skis and walked a few more meters. The road up to the Fernerhaus is free of snow. From there, the piste is groomed throughout with extensive snow fields even beyond the edge of the piste. Even at 1 pm, the snow was still nice and slushy to ski on without pricking. Apart from me, there were almost exclusively racing teams on site, and the gondola was empty from 9 am onwards during my ascent. The slopes are very limited in the lower part as many are groomed. Off-piste it was hardened with a few sun-softened cm, the slope was slushy but still nice to ride. All in all good for a June tour, but the way to the snow is exhausting if you don't want to pay for a ski pass and want to support summer skiing for environmental reasons :)
