Life is happening TODAY !!!

Hello and welcome, over the last few years we have, with great personal effort, created an attractive activity programme which other holiday resorts can only be envious about. In addition to our standard programme and our successful seminars, we have expanded our programme. Here are a few examples: the only climbing path of the Zillertal Alps (with "climbing garden") ; preparation of the Spannagel cave for cave trekking; creation of 6 canyoning tours; Installation of the sport system Flying Fox; we made tandem flights possible in the Tux valley; Tobogganing with 3-colour safety lights - new as of winter 2001/02; starting in summer 2002 - tightrope canyon garden, ...

The Nature's Ice Palace (Natur Eis Palast), discovered by chance in August 2007 inside the Hintertuxer Glacier in the Austrian province of Tyrol, has been opened to the public since November 3, 2008. The astounding glacial “palace” was discovered by Roman Erler of Natursport Tirol, an adventure travel company, as he found a hollow in the glacier Hintertuxer, which is located in the Zillertal Alps at the "Gefrorene Wand" (Frozen Wall) summit at 3288 meters (10787 feet).

An overview of the history of the Natural Ice Palace can be found on the following page:
