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.

Icy slopes during our visit. The blues were incredibly busy, which made it hard for the more beginner skiers in our group, however the reds further from the centre were pretty dreamy

We hit one side of the resort every morning and then came down to “Hans the butchers“ at lunchtime for food and a rave!! We then went up the other side to catch some sun and a drink/board/party at the bar at the top.. the whole area is amazing.. a few of use do the black run down whilst others get the bubble and wait in the bar with a drink for the black run warriors to return!! Caught the bus up to the glacier a couple of times.. I love mayrhofen…

I absolutely loved visiting Mayrhofen again!

The skiable terrain just keeps going and going! You can spend the whole day heading in one direction not knowing how you will get back. We had to download from miles up the valley and get the bus back the one day as we were a long way from the main gondola.

The groomed runs are amazing and the nightlife there overlapped with Snowbombing festival so the place was buzzing.

April time meant the morning skiing was still great however it got a bit slushy in the afternoon.

Would recommend to anybody!

I lived in Mayrhofen for a few years, there's many different ski areas to choose from, free ski busses go to the gondolas, can get busy in peak season, much cheaper than France and ideal if you drive there as the towns are in the valley rather than up the mountain. Great big park and jumps, half pipe etc. Some off piste If you get enough snow.

Very cute traditional village, most apre ski above main gondola lift in mountain so shuts early. Good cafe restaurants and bars in town centre with different food options. Good supermarket right opposite main lift. Would visit again but not one to pick for apre ski as only 1 proper apre bar in village.

Great resort, we are fairly new to snowboarding but we found a good array of easy runs. Fantastic ski lifts/gondolas, Park is one of the best in Austria. Excellent for apres ski, returning next March.

The home of snowbombing. If you like massive gondolas, expansive ski areas and apres ski raves in a butchers shop, mayrhofen is for you.

Great resort and worth getting the Ziller Valley pass which includes other resorts and the glacier area. An intermediates paradise but also some challenging steep runs. Nice pension options if you don’t want a hotel. Party atmosphere in the centre. Loved it.

Fantastic town, great connections to other resorts throughout the valley and different areas. Some amazing Aprés with down to earth people who are there to have fun without caring what they look like while doing so!
There is a reason people return year upon year, always looked after well by hoteliers and bar staff alike.
