Why Mayrhofen is Highly Rated for Expert Skiers

Mayrhofen's reputation as a haven for expert skiers is growing year on year. Mayrhofen has been award the silver award for Best Ski Resorts for Expert Skiers well-earned, scoring a remarkable 4.75/5.00 in our Best Ski Resorts for Expert Skiers category. The resort's crown jewel is the infamous Harikiri run, Austria's steepest slope, which expert skier Nick describes as providing "even more challenges" for those seeking heart-pumping descents. Our users consistently highlight the range of professional-level terrain that makes Mayrhofen a magnet for those craving adrenaline. Steve, an advanced skier, notes the "challenging Blacks in Mayrhofen including the Harikiri," while expert snowboarder James specifically recommends the Harikiri as "a must visit" for those testing their limits on extreme terrain. For those who love hero runs, the sheer amount of technical skiable terrain directly below lifts gives you the perfect playground to show off.

Beyond the signature steep runs, Mayrhofen offers a playground of off-piste opportunities that expert riders crave. If you take the 150er cable car up the mountain the expert terrain is endless. You'll find cliffs, serious powder, and small patches of trees which are perfect for experts. Expert snowboarder Meg points out that "when snow is fresh, off piste is great with lots of options with forest and big open off piste areas." The resort's varied terrain includes cliff drops and technical sections that push even the most skilled riders to their limits. One Snomad community member liked that despite being popular with intermediate skiers, Mayrhofen delivers for experts with what Ann-Marie describes as "off piste opportunities too great to practice and improve technique." The majority of users think the combination of challenging marked runs and accessible backcountry makes this Austrian gem worthy of its silver award status among the world's best expert ski destinations.

About the Snomad Ski Resort Awards

The Snomad Ski Resort Awards are the most authentic and unbiased recognition in the ski industry, based entirely on genuine guest experiences from real skiers and snowboarders.

Unlike other awards that rely on paid nominations or allow resorts to collect their own votes, ours are determined by verified ratings from actual visitors who have experienced these resorts firsthand.

This approach ensures that winning resorts truly deserve recognition based on guest satisfaction rather than marketing budgets or social media follower counts, providing you with trustworthy recommendations for your next mountain adventure.
