At 3,250 meters above sea level, the highest point of the Zillertaler Gletscherbahn brings visitors to one of Austria’s loftiest accessible mountain stations. Located on the Hintertux Glacier, this altitude places guests firmly in the high-alpine zone, where snow and ice persist throughout the year.
From the summit station, the thin air and wide horizon reveal views across the Zillertal Alps, the Dolomites, and deep into the Central Alps on clear days. The station serves both skiers and sightseers, demonstrating how modern cable-car engineering enables safe, efficient access to extreme elevations while supporting year-round tourism in a sensitive glacier environment.
