Mayrhofen Reviews & Ratings

Loved the town and vibe,

Really varied ski areas with off piste skiing available,
Great selection of bars and mid range priced restaurants,
Felt that the lifts were very busy when we went the last week of jan 2024 but they were well managed and the queues moved quickly
The food and drink options on the slopes were really good and varied, and reasonably priced compared to other resorts in Austria

Easy to navigate and good options of pistes for all levels of skiers. Only downside is having to get a lift off the slope at the end of the day as you can't ski down into the town.

The resort has an amazing range of slopes, with easy access on the train to to other nearby resorts. I have been twice now and we did a week skiing previously, visiting 3 other locations, and 3 days skiing more recently when we spent all 3 days in Mayrhofen.
There's a range of rental places, options to leave skis at the top and bottom of the gondola.
Lots of accommodation options for all budgets (we stayed in a more expensive half board place the first time and a very cheap self-catering accommodation the second time - both were clean and comfortable).
There's also lots of options for food, drink and apres ski, both up the mountain and in the town.
It's also very easy to get to the resort from Innsbruck Airport on public transport which we used both times. Would highly recommend Mayrhofen!

Been multiple times and have a great experience on each holiday. The ski culture is brilliant and in particular the Harikari run (extremely steep) and the ski park are great fun. Lots of slopes of all types and the lifts are modern and fast. Would recommend!

Amazing place and the penken park is a must!! Spent a lot of time there and it has the best park access and vibes

Ive been to Mayerhofen 4 times and its my favourite ski resort. There are many different lifts up from the village and thousands of runs to explore.

Lifts great and quick. Bars excellent. Lots different restaurants on and off piste. Great With access to over 142 km of pistes, the resort caters to all skill levels, from gentle beginner slopes to the steep Harakiri run, one of Europes steepest. The Penken and Ahorn ski areas provide a mix of challenging runs and scenic cruising. Off the slopes, Mayrhofen boasts lively après-ski venues, excellent dining options, and traditional Tyrolean hospitality. Its lift infrastructure is efficient, minimizing wait times. Whether for skiing, snowboarding, or enjoying the picturesque scenery, Mayrhofen delivers a memorable alpine experience.

We really enjoyed our time in mayrhofen, there was a great selection of restaurants both on piste and in the village. There are lots of nice hotels, bakeries and restaurants. We visited during Covid so the apres was a little dull but we could tell that it would normally be great.

Hotel I stayed in was amazing butchers just opposite gondola was really nice and good value loved the resort

The friendliness of the locals was very good. The food was very good. The quality of the lifts and gondolas was very high and modern. The selection of ski runs was of a good mix for every level and easy to hop on a bus and visit other resorts as well. Short transfer

I think marine is a great place for advanced skiers that want to party and for all levels below to enjoy a peaceful ski trip. Theres multi cultural places to dine out and multiple bars to indulge in drinking. Theres festivals aswell through the season its great value for money especially if ur looking outside of the expensive French resorts. Food is amazing like never experienced cusines like it in the mountains, steak is untouchable wow!

Great place for snowboards. We ended up hanging out with a few other boarders and ended up partying with them for the remainder of the holiday.

Brilliant place to be, stunning mountains and great groomed pistes. Friendly and welcoming, felt like home

Having visited Mayerhofen on a few occasions, it has something to offer for all abilities, skiing or boarding.
Yhe gondola takes you up yo the base of the Penken area
From there, another chair or 2 take you to the top of that dude. A lot of the xku schools start there, and on the first day, it's quite busy. At the top of the second chair, you can cut across into the valley, eith a myriad if runs and chairs on either side. There is the Park, sponsored by a different brand almost every year. At the far end of this, the huge gondola takes you up to another valley entrance a long road run brings you round, again, various runs around the valley, if you choose the run film onto Eggalm is a fantastic tree lined run, a couple of miles long. You can grab lunch in the village. Then head back up or catch a bus to Hinter Tux, the glacier. In Mayerhofen the other option is that Ahorn. A huge gondola takes you to the top, with an 8 man quad chair, it's the ideal beginners area. Dtopping down beyond it, there's another chair back up, about a 3rd of the way down. If your feeling fit, you can run right down to the gondola and session the whole home run. It's a fantastic mountain run. Sections were regraded black , but the reality is more a dark red. I won't go into the reasons here. Something for everyone, the Ice Bar at the base of the Penkn Gondola for the ultimate Austrian Apres ski. There's the Hari Kari for later evening entertainment , along with various bars and lots of quality eateries. If you have an all area pass, you get free travel on the trains and buses between Zell Am Zimmer, Mayerhofen and Hinter Tux. It's a bargain and has something for everyone.

Wish the off piste was better and had longer runs. Accessibility for snowboarders is some of the best Ive ever had. Penken park is very fun. Ski pass is very cheap compared to other places and gives you access to so much up the whole valley. The resort is lovely especially at Christmas

Mayrhofen is a great resort, with the best feature being the access to he different mountains via the snowpass.
The hakiri is a fun run which, like alot of the runs on that side of the basin, can get very icy.
There's a lot of terrain parks aswell.

Great resort but in the main area no home run so lifts can get busy at the end of the day.

Great apres-ski and lovely town centre.

Great skiing resort with busy slopes, lively town with a good selection of restaurants and hotels. For a late drink Scotland Yard is your pub

Really enjoyed the skiing, the town and the accommodation options. The skiing had something for everyone and the snow quality was good.

We went during Snowbombing, which was an atypical week to go. Busier slopes and much livelier apres with th festival being on, but the vibe was great. It was easy to get a bus or train to neighbouring resorts too.
