Mayrhofen overview
Traditional yet diverse village that keeps visitors coming back year after year.
Hop between ski areas on the Zillertal Superski pass, with a vast 515km of piste to keep you busy.
Known for it’s vibrant après scene, whether you want laid-back cocktails or dancing till dawn.
Sitting at the foot of the Penken and Ahorn mountains, Mayrhofen is one of the most diverse alpine resorts. The 139km ski area includes loads of challenging reds, plus Austria’s steepest run, the Harakiri. All of the slopes are reached by gondola, so beginners will need a full lift pass from day one. But the ski schools are great and the range of easier runs mean you can progress quickly once you’ve mastered the basics. For more experienced skiers, the area lift pass also covers the 515km of the wider Zillertal ski area, including the Hintertux glacier.
Mayrhofen’s a traditional town with lots of chalet-style buildings around a pretty church. It’s a great all-rounder, with accommodation that ranges from upmarket luxury to budget-friendly. And it’s also known for the excellent après scene, which kicks off early in the slopeside bars and goes on until the dawn in the clubs in town.
Prefer things a bit more laid back? Spend some time in your hotel’s pool or spa, cuddle up on a horse-drawn sleigh ride or see more of the area on a winter hike.
