What Skiers Say About Mayrhofen

Mayrhofen attracts primarily intermediate to advanced skiers and snowboarders, with many users noting it's less suited to complete beginners due to limited green runs and some challenging blues. The resort is consistently praised for its modern, efficient lift system, well-groomed pistes, and extensive skiable terrain across the Zillertal valley, including glacier access at Hintertux. Users frequently mention the lively après-ski scene, particularly at mountain bars and in the town centre, though some note it can feel overcrowded during peak times and festivals like Snowbombing. The low altitude of the town is a recurring concern, with several reviewers reporting slushy conditions in the afternoons, especially later in the season, and the inability to ski back down to the valley.

Runs get mogels early in day, not good for my level of snowboarding. Lifts and cable cars very efficient. I was suprised last gondala down was around 5pm. Great Apres ski, some bars seemed out of the way but google maps got you there. Food was great. Found restaurants on mountain to be expensive

We just came back from Mayrhofen. The snow was good despite it being early in the season. It was busy but there was still plenty of piste for everyone and options go get the pus to hintertux or the train to other areas if you fancied.

The Apres is very lively however the reality still seemed very family friendly.

Overall would definitely recommend

With interconnecting valleys and extensive piste options, I've never got bored visiting Meyerhoffen. The Hintertux glacier is close by and offers even more challenges.The lift network provides brilliant accessibility to explore and you can start your day from a cosy out of town hotel and finish in the centre of town. A huge variety of restaurants and a visit to Hans The Butcher opposite the main Penkenbahn terminal is a must for carnivorous deliciousness.

Excellent resort for party groups and families alike. Gondola to the slopes is high up so not for the faint hearted. But totally worth it

You cant go wrong with Mayrhofen.
Great resort, with a bit of everything for everyone. Especially if you're prepared to use all of the ski areas.
Nice quick transfer times from Innsbruk too (<1hr in taxi).
Love it and go many times. X

First time at this resort and absolutely loved it. It was busy but we were there over Christmas, so expected it. Loads of amazing runs, with most of them in the sun. Lots of variation including fun runs for the kids (or adults). The scenery....best I have ever seen. Lots to do up the mountain, including sledging and the opportunity to go paragliding. The resort is beautiful and there are loads of places to eat and drink for everyone's budget. People are very friendly. Will defo go back.

This was my first snowboarding trip so it's hard to give a in-depth review as I don't have experience of other areas
BUT as a newbie it was a really ideal place to start!
There were plenty of accommodation options which were very close to ski lifts, nice and simple to be able to get up to the mountain, there were numerous and easy to get to apres ski resorts on the mountain and the ski lifts were quick, easy and very organised, a pleasant experience I must say, as Ive heard some ski lifts are terrible
The runs were very well looked after and marked out, the only thing I would say is the blue runs were quite busy, but once I gained confidence and got onto the red runs it cleared up and was a lot better!
Id definitely recommend this area, but try to avoid the Snowbombing time if this isnt your vibe, as prices become inflated

A beautiful resort with loads of charm and ambience.
Great apres-ski and lively atmosphere.
Limited slopes for beginners and the blue runs were challenging but the children got the hang of it in the end!
A wonderful holiday from start to finish
