Tux / Tux Alps
Difficulty ratings: medium
Route length: 9.0 km
Duration: 2:30 h

The challenge at the head of the Tux Valley. During the demanding climb up to the Tuxer Joch, we breathe in the thin mountain air—and a bit of glacier air, too—since the Hintertux Glacier isn’t far away and is always in view.

Description

From the entrance to Hintertux, the route follows a well-maintained gravel road up to the Bichlalm. Continuing further into the valley, the trail crosses the Weitental stream and steadily climbs through a beautiful larch forest to the Sommerbergalm. From here, the more demanding section begins, with the path winding its way in several switchbacks up to the Tuxerjoch.
