Right now in Hintertux: -3 °C at mid-mountain and about 6 cm of snow on the ground according to the model. Snow forecast at the summit this week: 4 cm. 7-day forecast for Hintertux.
Hintertux is a resort in Tirol (Zillertal) (Austria) skied between 1500 and 3250 metres.
The camera shows real visibility and snow on the ground, not the forecast. Snow depth by altitude — 1500 to 3250 m — and the days ahead are in the Hintertux snow report.
Which lifts and runs Hintertux opens is published by the resort every morning and changes with the wind: the upper ones, up to 3250 m, are the most exposed. If the camera is a white blur mid-morning, that is usually why.
Hintertux publishes its camera images on its official website; you can access them directly from here.
Live video cameras update continuously; still images are usually refreshed every few minutes.
It lets you check visibility, recent snowfall and the general state of the slopes before leaving home, together with the weather forecast for the coming days.
Hintertux has not announced its opening date for the 2026/27 season yet. Our own estimate, based on the resort's altitude and its past seasons, puts it around September 1, 2026: that is a forecast, not an announcement. The resort confirms the date each autumn and we keep it up to date at https://www.caranva.app/en/esqui/fechas-apertura/hintertux-glacier.
Hintertux is expected to close for the 2026/27 season on May 31, 2027. The real date depends on how the snow holds up at the top (3250 m) late in the season, and the resort usually announces it only a few weeks ahead: the up-to-date version is at https://www.caranva.app/en/esqui/fechas-apertura/hintertux-glacier.
It changes daily and the resort itself publishes it every morning: snow depth by altitude, open runs and open lifts. The Hintertux daily report and forecast are at https://www.caranva.app/en/nieve/austria/hintertux-glacier. When it blows hard, the most exposed lifts are usually the upper ones (3250 m), so it is worth checking before driving up.
On Caranva you book the full kit for Hintertux — skis, boots and poles, or a snowboard if you prefer — at https://www.caranva.app/en/shop/esqui/hintertux-glacier: you pick the dates and give your height, weight, shoe size and level, and the gear is waiting assembled with the bindings set to those figures. You pay online, you skip the sizing counter, and you can swap the gear in the shop if something does not fit. The alternative is walking into a shop at the resort on a first-come basis, which over a bank holiday or at Christmas means queuing for whatever is left.
It is not compulsory, but over Christmas, New Year, half-term and bank holidays the shops in Hintertux run out of sizes and of the better ranges. Booking at https://www.caranva.app/en/shop/esqui/hintertux-glacier lets you choose the range and dates, locks the price and has the gear ready with your measurements: pick it up and go. Usually you pay a deposit online and the rest in the shop at pick-up.
