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.

Mayrhofen made me love Austria and it’s definitely somewhere I’ll return to. It’s not the most beginner friendly but makes up for it in the nightlife and après

Great variety of slopes, friendly people around and lovely restaurants and bars on the slopes! Would 100% visit again. Our accommodation was a 30 second walk to the Gondola so really convenient and beautiful views from our balcony.

Mayrhofen often regarded as “snowboarding Mecca” and it lives up to the billing, amazing runs, beautiful scenery on the slopes, fun park, nice town and some great options for food and drinks too. Only caveat is that it’s quite low so make sure you go when there is lots of snow

The town was great with multiple routes up the mountain or to the glacier. There was more than enough runs to keep it interesting and the views were fantastic. I would say it was far better than France in my opinion. Apres was good also and there were some very nice restaurants, on the slopes and in town.

One of my fav resorts in Europe. Great town with an enormous, well served ski area and a glacier on its doorstep. Gets busy at the end of the season due to snow bombing festival but the lift system up at penken can handle the crowds. Fab place and the locals are always good crack too. One of the best in Austria IMO

We went end of season, so it was starting to get slushy in the afternoons, but still great fun on a snowboard. Nice (and affordable) selection of food on the expansive slopes, and several different interesting areas. Also we took a day trip to the glacier - included in the ski pass and impressively huge (although no treeline so less interesting).

Also the descent into the valley was very icy in the morning. Would probably suggest beginners avoid that run until it has some time to soften up.

Blue skies, quietish slopes, so many areas to explore within the ski pass, great affordable bars and restaurants, all types of lifts in great working order, first class public transport links included in the lift pass.
We will definitely return!

We had a sick time in Mayrhofen, the ski area was huge and we also enjoyed a day up at Hinter-tux Glacier halfway through our holiday for a change of scenery. During our holiday, we got 3 insane powder days, waist deep just off the side of the runs!
Found this resort to be really well laid out and liked the variety of restaurants on the mountain. The only downside was you have to download at the end of the day in the gondola, but aside from that you are too busy enjoying the runs, slackcountry and thumping apres ski to think much about it!

I went to Mayrhofen in December 2023. As far as skiing early in the season goes, Maryhofen boasts some of the best! The Zillertal cable car means you can stay right in the valley (often much cheaper than on the mountain) and get to slopes within fifteen minutes. It's cheaper than some of the other big austrian resorts and is great for beginners and families. Be sure to check out the Ice Bar (located next to Hotel Strass) for incredible apres skiing.
