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 had so much fun skiing in Mayrhofen even conquering the Harakiri run. There were a variety of different slopes for all abilities as well as affordable drinks and food on the slopes. Would definitely reccomend!!!

Fantastic resort and huge ski area with the super ski pass. You can ski somewhere different each day using the included bus and train services. Something for everyone, we have been back for 4 years in a row.

Great value trip, great value while there. Friendly locals ready to look after their guests and know how to have a good time up until 2am if you want!Skiing variability is great, always snow sure and can visit other resorts in the same valley for the lift pass cost with simple transport options.There is a reason they host 3 festivals throughout the ski season!

Mayrhofen is great for all types of riding, the park is great (despite being quite intimidating), you can always find pockets of powder in the trees and long leg burning runs to get you back to the base. Lots of food & drink options to choose from, with varying styles & pricing

Love this resort! I've been here a few times with friends, family, and even solo. Plenty of runs, the apres has a true party vibe. Everyone's friendly and the beer is reasonably priced. Snowbombing festival is a must for the younger ones, although, even at 40 I still had a blast. Plenty of hotels to choose, from highend to budget, there's something for everyone. Highly recommended

Mayrhofen just keeps getting better! The place to go for awesome days and buzzing nights. Easy access from the airport and opportunities to get to other resorts on the one ski pass.

Beautiful resort with great accommodation, friendly locals and great slopes. Not the cheapest European resort to stay at, but good value for money! Just be aware that Mayrhofen hosts Snowbombing festival during the last week of the season so if thousands of ravers in fancy dress isnt your scene that may not be the week to visit!

Initially thought this might be slightly limited for higher intermediate riders with limited blacks, but found some good going and after some good snowfall and some decent tracks between runs to add some challenge and mix up our skiing. Plenty of options for intermediates in the group and some really good apres too. Prettier than a lot of French resorts too.
Mayrhofen is a good base for family ski trip or couple or groups. Plenty options for place to stay, for eating, also shopping. Price for meals for eating out it's a bit high but most place we went served a good food. Shops in general have good prices for snowsport equipments.There are few suprrmarkets too if you just want to pack your lunch instead of eating up in the mountain and pay premium price.There is public swimming pool and sauna that we went to and we enjoyed it. Only that children is not allowed in sauna but there are 2 slippery sides and fun pool to enjoy as family.

Lots of fantastic territory to discover in Mayrhofen and the wider Zillertal valley ski area, superb transport system to access numerous resorts and the Hintertux glacier. Off piste opportunities too great to practice and improve technique

Runs get mogels early in day, not good for my level of snowboarding. Lifts and cable cars very efficient. I was suprised last gondala down was around 5pm. Great Apres ski, some bars seemed out of the way but google maps got you there. Food was great. Found restaurants on mountain to be expensive

We just came back from Mayrhofen. The snow was good despite it being early in the season. It was busy but there was still plenty of piste for everyone and options go get the pus to hintertux or the train to other areas if you fancied.

The Apres is very lively however the reality still seemed very family friendly.

Overall would definitely recommend

With interconnecting valleys and extensive piste options, I've never got bored visiting Meyerhoffen. The Hintertux glacier is close by and offers even more challenges.The lift network provides brilliant accessibility to explore and you can start your day from a cosy out of town hotel and finish in the centre of town. A huge variety of restaurants and a visit to Hans The Butcher opposite the main Penkenbahn terminal is a must for carnivorous deliciousness.

You cant go wrong with Mayrhofen.
Great resort, with a bit of everything for everyone. Especially if you're prepared to use all of the ski areas.
Nice quick transfer times from Innsbruk too (<1hr in taxi).
Love it and go many times. X
