Front view of the Hintertuxerhof, command central for Harb Hintertux camps. The rooms and dining area are undergoing a total renovation right now and should be even more wonderful next year. The canopies cover the [cropped out of photo] sun terrace, home of fine beer and apre ski "coffee" (salads, savories, big desert spread) which looks up with an unobstructed view several thousand feet to the slopes. Be sure to wear sunscreen on the sun terrace.
7 euros will rent ski storage at the top for a week, so there's no need to schlepp skis (or boots) up and down. If you're a gear fanatic, the Hintertuxerhof has a good ski room, boot dryers, a tuning table, and a house waxing iron!
A day in the life of a camper. Awake after a good sleep at 4,900 ft. Luxurious breakfast at 7. Walk to lifts at 8. Lifts open 8:15. Two long lifts up to Tuxer Fernerhaus at 8,700 ft. Boot up and on snow at 9. Quick chair to the tip top Gefrorene Wand at 10,700 ft. Ski all day with quick tea (for the Kiwis, Aussies, and Brits), lunch, and video breaks. Last chair down at 4:15. Sumptuous coffee spread 4-5 or beer garden in village. Happy hour at 6. 5 course meal starts at 7 and finishes late. Slumber at 4,900 ft with lots of oxygen to prepare for the next day.
Keep an eye out for those southern hemisphere folks. Some of them have nine camps under their belts and can outski you and drink you under the table. But they're a ton of fun to be around.
