Winter in Tux
Emotions in white -the highest of feelings!

The tradition-loving villages of Finkenberg, Tux and Hintertux offer exactly what you expect from a perfect winter holiday in Tyrol - a flawless landscape wrapped in white, great pistes, a holiday-filling entertainment programme and a cosy ambience in the Hochland rooms.
