Just in time for the final Zillertal VÄLLEY RÄLLEY event, Betterpark Hintertux started into the spring season with a large setup at the bottom of the impressive Olperer mountain on Hintertux Glacier. Wille Kaufmann and his Betterparks shape team had conjured up a versatile setup for all ages and skill levels for the 4th stage of the Zillertal VÄLLEY RÄLLEY.
