Nordic Walking through the picturesque Tux Mountain Scenery
Train your whole body while really experiencing the Tyrolean natural beauty! For it to be really effective, we recommend an introductory Nordic Walking course with a qualified professional trainer. The nordicsports active center is located in Tux – as the whole area offers ideal conditions for lovers of sport and nature alike! The idyllic mountain and glacier landscape, ranging from 1.3000 to 3.250 metres above sea level, with its fresh and healthy mountain air, offers not only 350 km of signposted hiking trails, but also 80 km suitable for Nordic Walking in summer!
Cattle Drive
Every year at the end of September the big cattle drive with Oktoberfest takes place in Hintertux. The cows are driven from the Bichlalm into the valley to Hintertux, where they return to their stables after an alpine summer.
This is celebrated with a big festival - the Hintertux Oktoberfest - organized by the Tux volunteer fire brigade. This festival is the highlight in autumn in Hintertux.
