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.

A fantastic range of beginner through to the most expert of terrain. Local culture and hotels are fantastic. Massive amount of lifts make moving around the mountain easy and getting fro all the terrain zones is a breeze. Generally good conditions across the area

Great Austrian town and resort.
More than enough runs to keep most people occupied for a week or two but also connected to all the other resorts in the zillertal valley.

Pros.
Wonderful town, awesome terrain with runs for all levels. Legendary apres ski.
Access to the whole valley included in the super pass. Possibly the best beer in the world.

Cons.
No real ski in/out.
The apres may not to be every to everyone taste.

A great resort- gondola up was very easy and lots of great food options. The snow was okay when I went but can imagine it would be amazing mid season with lots of snow

I am a ski instructor and I have been skiing since I was 3 both here in mayrhofen and around the world and I have come to love this place for the slopes and the people. The snow is usually very good and there and loads of slopes for beginners all the way to advanced. There is also the Penken park a huge park with many jumps and rails good for all different levels of freestyle skier.

One of the larger ski areas in Austria, a beautiful area with well prepared slopes. Would recommend for all skiers as it has the ski schools and easier slopes for younger children alongside the parks and harder slopes for adults. The ski school was decent, however, on the last day a parent bought their kids to the adult lessons and it was chaos but the rest of the days were fine. Would recommend!

Excellent little resort. No ski in/out options - cable car up to/down from terrain. Great restaurants on mountain and in town - so much better value than France. Really fun apres and good general vibe about the resort. Would definitely go back!
