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.

Excellent skiing in whole Ziller Valley. Not all linked up but theres very good buses if you need them. Zell Am Ziller was superb.
Some challenging Blacks in Mayrhofen including the Harikiri.
Good vibe in the village.

Good selection of hotels and eateries apres bars extremely busy and you struggle to get served. We stayed hotel Strass right next door to Penkenbahn I would advice requesting a room away from the attached Icebar if you like piece and quiet
The Penken lift first thing is a nightmare so get there early, first few chairs are also busy along with slopes, being a town with high cliffs all around you are limited to this one lift or Ahornbahn a ten minute walk away but pistes a limited at Ahorn (good black to resort) a couple of trips to the Hintertux glacier is well the effort as is a trip do to Zell Ziller lots of skiing there but just make sure your on Zillertal side of valley before lifts close or I guess it would be expensive taxi back
All in all a very busy resort I wouldnt rush back but I would go back at some point

Get up early and take the 150er and then ski Route 66 (while its pristine) before going back up the 150er to ski to Eggalm. Be aware that Route 66 gets quite tough in the afternoon especially when everyone is heading back to Mayrhofen. If you have skiers who are tired or inexperienced they can take the 150er back down and head for the Knorren lift to get back to Mayrhofen.

The bus system is very good and the ski area is extensive using the Penken lift in centre of village to take you to main ski area which links all areas except glacier which you can get a bus to from the train station.
I feel a little bit sorry for beginners as there didn't seem to be many blues further away from ski school area and the reds are pretty tough and quite a few ungroomed..
The skiing are however is really good if your relatively proficient.
Rastkogel and Finkenburg are nice.
Glacier is ok if weather is good about 35 minutes away on green line bus.
The town itself is good, one main street with bars and cafes, if you go down the side streets there is some good places aswell.
I would definitely come back...plenty of skiing for a week.
Enjoy it

Mayrhofen is a fantastic ski resort that offers something for everyone, from beginners to advanced skiers. The slopes are well-maintained and provide a wide variety of runs, including many blue and red pistes ideal for intermediate

While Mayrhofen is the most popular town within the ski-pass, the nearby resorts are much more enjoyable Kaltenbach has very wide slopes, very good and friendly offpiste options. Hintertux glacier has very good snow due its altitude and it's a dream destination after a dump (and bluebird sky)

Après-ski in Mayrhofen is lively, with numerous bars, restaurants, and venues to enjoy after a day of skiing, especially in the town center. The village itself is charming, with a great selection of shops, cafes, and restaurants.

Amazing place, loads of options up and down the Hintertux.
My favourite resort in Europe.
Relatively cheap for food and drinks, Scotland Yard pub is an absolute must.

As a first time skier, I found this location perfect! Ski lift was right next to the Strass sports hotel which was perfect to get up and get going! Our ski school instructor was super helpful and we were off on runs by day 2!

Fantastic resort - great variety with zillertall pass that gives you access to lots of ski areas. Brilliant apres! Very reasonable compared to France - lunch on mountain is affordable, as is beer!

Great for all levels. Après-ski is not the one - if youre looking to party, dont go to Austria. Food and drink were typically cheaper than anywhere Ive ever been in France. This was my first holiday skiing and I thoroughly enjoyed.

We have been going to Mayrhofen for many years- best bits are the friendliness of the locals, the cleanliness, the efficiency, great town with great variety of shops, great beer and Gassers for your schnitzel, pommes and bratwurst! Oh- and great skiing for allAbilities. And the glacier skiing!

Large varied ski area if you opt for the whole area Zillertal pass although you will have to get buses or a train to fully utilise. The same applies if you want to access the Hintertux Glacier. Fantastic snow park in the immediate Mayrhofen area if thats your thing. The town is lively and friendly with plenty of shops and places to eat and drink. If you want to grab a bite straight after coming down the hill, I would strongly recommended Gassers immediately opposite the Penken Bahn

Such a good range of slopes and runs. Food is amazing and the apres ski is fun, better up the mountain than in mayerhofen itself.
