Ski Mayrhofen

Why not ski Mayrhofen this winter. One of Austria's most famous resorts, there's good slopes for all abilities and some great off-piste also. Enjoy a traditional Tyrolean village in the Zillertal this winter whether skiing or boarding.

Where

Ski Mayrhofen and be in one of Austria's top resorts, one of the best teaching destinations and in be in the beautiful Ziller Valley. Linked with Rastkogel, Finkenberg and Hintertux resorts, the resort is part of the Zillertal 3000 ski area. To get to Mayrhofen is relatively painless from Innsbruck as it's just an hour, or you can fly into Salzburg or Munich and face a much longer transfer.

On the slopes

Ski Mayrhofen and you will get access to two mountains: the Penken-Horberg, linked to the Rastkogel-Eggalm; and the smaller Ahorn mountain. Beginners will enjoy the Ahorn, which has plenty of gentle blue runs, or the Penken nursery slopes. Intermediates will find the long runs on Rastkogel and Eggalm to their tastes, while experts can attempt the suicidal Harakiri run, at 38 degrees (78%), the steepest in Austria or some of the more difficult red's like Red 7 at the back of the Horberg.

If you're a boarder or freestyler, head straight for the revamped Vans Penken Park with rails, jumps and a half-pipe to keep you busy. If you are not into jumps or you want to warm up, then the Penken offers some wide and open cruising terrain to get you started. If you like off-piste, then there's plenty of it. Finally, you always have the massive Zillertal Superski ski area to enjoy - with almost 500km of pistes - no one can do that in a week!
