Conquer one of the two Gefrorene-Wand-Spitzen summits along the Tex Crest during a hazy, jaw-dropping sunset. With soft pinks, purples and blues, the sky basks in a dreamlike glow that can only be seen in the alps.
This image was taken from Gefrorene-Wand-Spitzen with a north-facing view of the Tux Alps. This photo was shot from above 3000m (9800+ft), but it's actually very accessible since you can take a cable car up to the summit.
First, drive to Hintertuxer Gletscher and then park in the Parkplatz (47.109230, 11.675425). After parking, head south and go to the Zillertal Glacier Lift GmbH & Co KG offices to buy a ticket for the cable car. For pricing, please check out their website: https://www.hintertuxergletscher.at/en/tickets-rates/hiking-tickets/hintertux-glacier
Take the Gletscherbus 2 gondola and the Gefrorene Wand 3/3b afterwards. Exit the cable car and reference the GPS coordinates to see where I stood for this view of the Tux Alps. It's a short hike from the cable car to the viewpoint (15min).
Please note, if you stay past sunset, you won't be able to take the cable car down, so plan ahead. You'll either have to sleep on the mountain and take the cable car down the following day or you can hike down.
