WINTER SPORTS
A BEAUTIFUL NEW WORLD
ICE MELTS AWAY THE BOREDOM
Skating and curling
Learn the real meaning of “fun on ice” in the huge natural ice parks in Tux-Lanersbach and Finkenberg! Regardless of whether you’ll be strapping on the pro blades yourself or simply watching the kids do their spins. It’s guaranteed to be a fun time! There’s always something entertaining to see or do. This includes the alpine version of curling, known as Eisstockschießen, which is a fun and relaxed way to spend a few social hours on ice.
4 Eisstock lanes in Tux-Lanersbach and 2 Eisstock lanes in Finkenberg stand ready for groups. Day or night, alone or in pairs or groups, whether competitive or casual, the action never ends. Fun and active entertainment awaits on the curling and skating rinks of Zillertal. And no worries: There’s plenty of liquid options to keep yourself nice and toasty…
EXPERIENCE THE NATURE OF THE TUX VALLEY IN THE DEEP SNOW.
Snowshoe tours
Snowshoe hikes are a perpetual favorite. Little wonder: it’s an engaging sport that requires little prior knowledge to get started.
The shoes can be rented from the Zillertal’s many ski rental shops. Simply strap them on and head out into nature to see winter’s loveliest side. Fresh air, glistening powder and the panorama of the Zillertal alps. Alone, in groups, in pairs… However you like it. Hiking at the feet of the picturesque winter landscape of Tux, far away from the tourist throngs, has an almost meditative effect… Restorative and also huge fun.
TUX IS A HIKING PARADISE, ESPECIALLY IN WINTER
Winter hikes
There are over 400 km of prepared hiking trails in the Zillertal. Almost 70 of them are located here in Tux. This means the valley’s picturesque winter landscape awaits you and your hike right from the door of the hotel. The majority of the trails are terrifically maintained, and can even be traveled with strollers.
Winter hiking can be a thrill for little explorers too. There are plenty of new experiences to savor. Is that a deer behind the tree there? Which animal made these tracks? For a challenge, try hiking up to the Eggalm or Sommerbergalm. Your efforts can be rewarded with a trip to one of the area’s restaurants for delicious regional fare.
All Tux winter hiking paths are designated as such. We here at the Tirolerhof also stand ready with plenty of tips and hiking suggestions.
