Tuxertal

The Tuxertal ("Tux Valley") lies in Tyrol, Austria and is a side valley of the Zillertal, from which it branches at Mayrhofen. It is about 13 km long and accessible on the Tux Road (Tuxer Straße). From Mayrhofen (630 m AA) to Hintertux (1500 m) in the municipality of Tux, the village that gives the valley its name, there is a height difference of about 850 m. The valley ends in Hintertux at the Hintertux Glacier. The Tuxbach, which rises near Hintertux, flows as far as Mayrhofen where it empties into the River Ziller.

Settlements

The five main settlements in the Tuxertal are (from the head of the valley): Hintertux (1,500 m), Madseit (1,385 m), Juns (1360 m), Lanersbach (1,300 m), Vorderlanersbach (1,300 m) and the parish of Finkenberg (840 m).

The Tuxertal is the only way of reaching the Hintertux Glacier by means of road and cable lift.
