Music video for Ed Sheeran's latest single filmed at Hintertux

Romance at the Hintertux Glacier

If you needed another reason to love Ed Sheeran, he’s just filmed the music video of the year at the Hintertux Glacier in the Zillertal Arena. The romantic wintry love story featuring the beautiful Zoey Deutch has us brushing away tears from the corners of our eyes as we wistfully follow along on his perfect ski holiday. There’s no doubt about it, Ed Sheeran has a certain je-ne-sais-quoi, and for teenage girls everywhere, ski holidays this year are going to be inextricably wrapped up with fleeting thoughts of this charismatic ginger. Wondering exactly how you can recreate your own Perfect music video? Stay tuned…

Ed Sheeran shoots music video for "Perfect" on the Hintertux Glacier

Perfect, shot on the Hintertux Glacier in Tyrol, already has over 80 million views and counting on YouTube. Which is understandable, because it’s the ultimate fantasy of any skier or snowboarder: blue skies, perfectly groomed ski slopes, rocking’ après-ski, a cosy alpine chalet, romantic starlit capers and, of course, Ed Sheeran! Zoey Deutch is adorable as well and makes the perfect counterpart, letting Ed Sheeran serenade her on the guitar while he confesses his love for her. And that kiss, surrounded by breathtakingly tall mountains while thick flakes of fresh snow fall from the sky… amazing!

Filming locations in Hintertux and Mayrhofen

For die-hard Ed Sheeran fans or anyone who wants to re-create the perfect ski holiday for the love of their life, we’ve scouted out all the filming locations so you can follow in the British star’s footsteps. Ed pulls into the Mayrhofen train station before meeting Zoey Deutch and his friends at the panorama bar in the Tuxer Fernerhaus. They frolic on the slopes of the Hintertux Sommerbergalm and go for a torch-lit ski session (this one might be a bit more difficult to recreate) and then head to the Hohenhaus Tenne for après-ski. For the conclusion, the street between the Hohenhaus Tenne and the Hotel Neuhintertux was transformed into a magical scene worthy of… well, a romantic film.

Will Perfect be the après-ski hit of the 2017-2018 ski season?

It’s pretty much a certainty that we’ll be hearing a lot of Ed Sheeran’s new hit all over ski resorts this winter. It’s got almost everything to make it the next big après-ski sensation, but Perfect is just a little too slow and romantic to have people bopping along in the club. Do you think this fan-made après-ski version might do the trick? Keep your ears peeled this holiday season.

Zoey Deutch is SO done with schnitzel

Zoey Deutch thanked Ed Sheeran on Instagram for the chance to film in the snow during the summer, and commented that she’d eaten enough schnitzel to last her a lifetime. Although Zoey Deutch starred in the film, the song is actually about Ed Sheeran’s long-time girlfriend and childhood sweetheart, Cherry Seaborn.

Hintertux Glacier the perfect setting for a romantic music video

Austria’s Lanersbach-Hintertux is open for skiing all year long, so Ed Sheeran and his crew were able to shoot their music video during the summer. The ski area reaches an altitude of over 3000m, offering guaranteed snow and almost 50km of slopes, including one piste that is 10km long. In addition to the 365 days a year of skiing and snowboarding, the ski resort also offers plenty of attractions and a lively après-ski scene away from the slopes. Hintertux Glacier is close to several other well-known resorts, namely Mayrhofen and the Zillertal Arena.

About Danielle

Born and raised in the ski paradise of Vancouver, Canada, I learned to ski before I can remember, balancing precariously on my parents’ skis as they sailed down the hill. I started snowboarding in my teens and am now delighted to be exploring everything Europe’s ski scene has to offer!
