The skiing resorts that comprise
the Tux Valley
are
not bastions of sleek or
cradles of chic. They are
Austrian ski resorts in the traditional sense. They were
built on available natural assets in that they were
nurtured slowly and carefully from traditional family run
houses and pensions into a
collection of smaller resorts combined in a
marketing sense and with a single ski pass into
one neatly run entry. The combined greatest
natural asset was not the imposing glacier at
Hintertux, but the ability to create a world
class entity while at the same time maintaining
small mountain town style and tradition.
And although accommodation skifahren and facilities have taken on a world standard facade over the years, the area still remains unchanged. The Tux continues to be traditional and natural and where sophistication and five star luxury is not on the menu, first class accommodation and real value definitely is.Kaltenbach in Zillertal is a ski resort first and foremost. And make no mistake, the big natural resource at the end of the valley, the glacier at Hintertux, is what this whole way of life has been built around.
The height of most of the villages in this valley precludes being described as "picture postcard" stuff. It's too high and too untamed for that. Raw beauty would be a more apt description. There is no jet set shopping, no claim to hosting the grand celebrities of the world. Still the area continues to be indecently popular with European skiers of all abilities. Even more so now, what with the super ski pass reaching down the Ziller Valley, to Mayrhofen and beyond.
