Tuxer & Zillertal Alps Ski touring guide

<p>This ski guide covers both the ski-friendly Tux Alps and the wild, unspoiled Zillertal Alps, which, with their steep topography and extensive glaciation, already possess a distinctly Western Alpine character. The majority of ascents in the Tux Alps consist of easy to moderately difficult ski tours, making them particularly popular &ndash; truly remote spots are relatively rare. While the area may seem rather unspectacular in summer, it offers some of the best ski touring opportunities in Tyrol, further enhanced by its proximity to Innsbruck, a major hub for ski tourers. Those seeking solitude and up for long, demanding ski tours will likely prefer the Zillertal. Here, ski resorts initially dominate the landscape, but beyond Mayrhofen, one quickly leaves the hustle and bustle of winter tourism behind and enters a pristine and tranquil mountain world.</p>
