Finkenberg ski resort information
The ski resort of Finkenberg is a quiet and pretty village in the Tux valley. This delightful place has some great skiing with good access to the Zillertal ski area. The village itself has mainly hotels with some bars and cafés and has a nice central area around the local church. The rest of the buildings are spread along the road which is can be quite busy, it is a steep winding road heading towards Lanersbach. Most of the hotels are in walking distance of the gondola and for those hotels a little further away, the hotels will normally provide a free bus service there. The gondola is split into 2 stages up the mountain but takes you to the Penken Slopes. When the snow is in good condition you can normally ski back to the village without a problem.
