Due to its location, Tux is protected by the surrounding mountains, so the climate is milder than you would expect from the altitude and proximity to the glacier. Slopes are green all the way up to the edge of the glacier, which is why the Tux Valley is called the "Green Glacier Valley" .

Tux has an annual average:
1836 hours of sun, 19 foggy days, and 156 days of snow in the valley.
