Modern lifts, expansive skiing, diverse off-piste for those willing to look, plus more apres ski locations than you could possibly poke a stick at.

We loved that you can take a train to Mayrhofen and then access a modern gondola directly from the centre of town. We also loved that Hintertux Glacier, Hochzillertal and the Zillertal Arena resorts are easy to get to from Mayrhofen, creating a truly diverse ski experience for all Zillertal visitors.

And of course then there are the little quirks that give a true insight into the humour & fun of the Mayrhofen ski resort. Entering a men's toilet at the top of the Penkenbahn, one is confronted by a huge glass window with skiers wandering past seemingly in full view of the urinals. Naturally the glass is one-way only, but the effect is extraordinary! (See second last photo above)

It is always party time at Mayrhofen. Come and check it out. Whilst perhaps a little more sedate, Mayrhofen is a great alternative to St Anton & Ischgl in the party stakes.

We can't wait to ski here again. See our thoughts on the Pros & Cons of the ski resort on our Mayrhofen Overview page.
