Mayrhofen Reviews by Customers

"I'm 65 and have been skiing regularly in Marhofen since 1972. I've visited many other resorts in France, Italy Austria and Switzerland and enjoyed most of them. But Mayrhofen has it all: snowsure slopes with a glacier on hand, and an excellent ambiance for all ages. Great for snowboarders, too. The resort keeps expanding, has an excellent ski school for children and the people are extremely friendly. Set at the head of the pretty Zillertal Valley, it is my second home anywhere in the world. A great Christmas and New atmosphere, I can't wait for a beer in the Happy End and a strudel and hot chocolate in the Cafe Kostner. Heaven. Great for non skiers as well. Enjoy."

"Did Xmas 08 here and can't say enough good things. I think the Hüttes up on the mountains are far better than most resorts and the aprés sessions at Brücke and Icebar rival St Anton without the hassle of having to ski down after 15 Jaeger bombs. The skiing is vast and a day at Zell am Ziller and another at the Hintertux glacier are hardly enough. I'll be back for more; sorry St Anton our love affair is over."

Ski Holidays in Mayrhofen, Austria

Set in the beautiful Ziller Valley, Mayrhofen has long earned its place as one of the world's top ski and snowboard resorts, set amid the vast Zillertal area.

The ski area is large, varied and high. The terrain offers a good mix of cruisers and steeps and is well laid out for beginner skiers around the mid station of the Finkenberg. For advanced skiers there is the Harakiri piste, the steepest groomed slope in Austria, as well as some impressive off piste ski terrain. On the otherside of the valley is the Ahorn ski area which offer ski terrain best suited to beginners. There is now a new cable car to the Ahorn area and the fast gondola up to the Penken, the ski region is connected up to the Finkenberg, Rastkogel and Eggalm ski areas, belonging to the extensive 'Zillertal 3000'. The Mayrhofen ski area is impressive, one of the best in Austria and is backed up by the nearby Hintertux glacier which offers year round skiing and a snow guarantee for early or late ski holidays in Mayrhofen. Wintersports enthusiasts can enjoy an incredible 157km of pistes plus 86km on the nearby Hintertux glacier included on the whole area lift pass and connected with a free bus. For the more adventurous skier there are 22km of black runs including the steepest run in Austria, the infamous Hara Kiri with a 78% gradient.
