Hintertux Glacier
What a season here looks like
Each track shows the typical range across 29 winters. The marker shows where your selected weeks sit.
The snow has held. The air has not.
Hintertux Glacier's typical base has sat near 115cm since 1950, and a good winter still beats a bad one by 119cm, far more than any decade here differs from another. The winter freezing level has climbed 40m a decade.
Across single winters (2025–26 to 1974–75).
1950–1959 to 2020–2025. The Tirol region moved −21cm.
Per decade. 1193m in 1950–1959, 1462m now. Still 38m below the village.
Calibrated reanalysis, 1950–2025. Bars are each winter's mean base, rules each decade's mean. 2020–2025 holds 6 winters, not ten. Every figure here averages a full season, so none of them will match the readings for your chosen weeks above.

Method & sources
We weigh snow reliability against this resort's own history, add live conditions where we have them, then adjust for how hard the trip is for your group.

- 02Bias-correct against ground stations (SLF / Météo-France nivôse).
- 03Build per-week climatological percentile · 30 winters.
- 04Anomaly = current week vs. cell's own 30-year baseline.
- 05Snow-sure read at the highest-snow cell within ~15km. When most resorts are bare, ranking shifts toward this, surfacing glaciers in shoulder seasons.
