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.

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.

Loved my two days of riding at Mayrhofen, had a bluebird sunny day which ended with snowfall and then next day was bucketing powder all day!

I've skied Mayrhofen quite a few times. Early January was a fantastic time to visit. We had 2 big dumps of snow so fresh tracks were incredibly easy to achieve. Skied so incredible lines under the 150er gondala. Lifts are very well run and first lift is pretty achievable if you're there about 7:40. Penken park is superb, the fresh snow meant some of the bigger lines were out of action for a few days but the jib line is always fantastic and had a great range of features to progress on. Mayrhofen as a town is lovely, it has character and a good level of Austrian charm. The food is pretty good we ate at - Mo's, Ellie's, Manni's, and had a couple nights grabbing quick food from Gasser. The apres is relatively cheap but the music often leaves a lot to be desired. Brukenstadl isn't my favourite club in a resort but it definitely serves a purpose. It's a good resort for all abilities.

Beautiful villages make up the series of resorts along the valley offering different terrain and experiences. Quiet and friendly. Resort and up mountain prices very fair. Plenty of varied pistes and enough off piste to keep you happy for a week.

I really like Mayrhofen. It's big enough to explore different areas on different days and get away from the crowds.

Good variety of slopes, lots of side piste, good parks, decent lift system so your day on the hill is sorted.

The apres is great if that's your thing.

It's a popular resort though so it can get crowded.

I visited this Austrian ski resort for a snowboarding/music festival in 2024, and it was absolutely unforgettable. The views were beyond stunningeverywhere you looked, there were snow-covered mountains and breathtaking scenery. The runs themselves were incredible, offering something for every skill level, and the snowboarding conditions were perfect.

The music at the festival was on point, creating the ideal vibe for après-ski fun, and it was so easy to get lost in the energy of it all. What truly made the experience special, though, were the workers. Everyone I interacted with was so warm, friendly, and welcomingit really added to the overall positive experience.

I genuinely have nothing bad to say about this resort. From the slopes to the staff to the music, everything was perfect. I wholeheartedly believe that everyone should visit this resort at least once in their life!

Found the town quite dark and felt quite removed from the ski area as only one black run down to it so cant sit and watch skiers unless you are staying in the few on mountain hotels.

Nice shopping in the town.

Get the train to some of the neighboring ski areas. Great day out on the train.

Great resort with a ton of variety. Pretty icy when we were there as it hadnt snowed in a while, but still great quality runs. Some very funny blues where the snow cannons were left on, creating snow drifts that were an immediate fall zone, but overall great stuff

Food on the resort wasnt overly expensive and good quality with a range of options for different dietary restrictions (being vegetarian in Austria can be tough!)
