The region is also suitable for mountaineering - there are plenty of Alpine huts, some managed all-year round. One of these huts is the Spannagelhaus next to the natural monument of the Spannagel Cave, which is over 10 km long and the largest cave system in the Austrian Central Alps. There are 18 lifts to transport winter sports tourist and other visitors from the Hintertux valley station (Talstation Hintertux, 1500 m) up to the glacier. Hintertux is Austria's only year-round skiing region in Zillertal. All ski areas close for summer, Hintertux Glacier, however, stays open all-year-round. Nine lifts serve 23km of fantastic glacier pistes. The world’s best skiers use this unique opportunity to train also in summer.
