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.

First time at this resort and absolutely loved it. It was busy but we were there over Christmas, so expected it. Loads of amazing runs, with most of them in the sun. Lots of variation including fun runs for the kids (or adults). The scenery....best I have ever seen. Lots to do up the mountain, including sledging and the opportunity to go paragliding. The resort is beautiful and there are loads of places to eat and drink for everyone's budget. People are very friendly. Will defo go back.

This was my first snowboarding trip so it's hard to give a in-depth review as I don't have experience of other areas
BUT as a newbie it was a really ideal place to start!
There were plenty of accommodation options which were very close to ski lifts, nice and simple to be able to get up to the mountain, there were numerous and easy to get to apres ski resorts on the mountain and the ski lifts were quick, easy and very organised, a pleasant experience I must say, as Ive heard some ski lifts are terrible
The runs were very well looked after and marked out, the only thing I would say is the blue runs were quite busy, but once I gained confidence and got onto the red runs it cleared up and was a lot better!
Id definitely recommend this area, but try to avoid the Snowbombing time if this isnt your vibe, as prices become inflated

A beautiful resort with loads of charm and ambience.
Great apres-ski and lively atmosphere.
Limited slopes for beginners and the blue runs were challenging but the children got the hang of it in the end!
A wonderful holiday from start to finish

Loved the town and vibe,

Really varied ski areas with off piste skiing available,
Great selection of bars and mid range priced restaurants,
Felt that the lifts were very busy when we went the last week of jan 2024 but they were well managed and the queues moved quickly
The food and drink options on the slopes were really good and varied, and reasonably priced compared to other resorts in Austria

Easy to navigate and good options of pistes for all levels of skiers. Only downside is having to get a lift off the slope at the end of the day as you can't ski down into the town.

The resort has an amazing range of slopes, with easy access on the train to to other nearby resorts. I have been twice now and we did a week skiing previously, visiting 3 other locations, and 3 days skiing more recently when we spent all 3 days in Mayrhofen.
There's a range of rental places, options to leave skis at the top and bottom of the gondola.
Lots of accommodation options for all budgets (we stayed in a more expensive half board place the first time and a very cheap self-catering accommodation the second time - both were clean and comfortable).
There's also lots of options for food, drink and apres ski, both up the mountain and in the town.
It's also very easy to get to the resort from Innsbruck Airport on public transport which we used both times. Would highly recommend Mayrhofen!

Been multiple times and have a great experience on each holiday. The ski culture is brilliant and in particular the Harikari run (extremely steep) and the ski park are great fun. Lots of slopes of all types and the lifts are modern and fast. Would recommend!

Lifts great and quick. Bars excellent. Lots different restaurants on and off piste. Great With access to over 142 km of pistes, the resort caters to all skill levels, from gentle beginner slopes to the steep Harakiri run, one of Europes steepest. The Penken and Ahorn ski areas provide a mix of challenging runs and scenic cruising. Off the slopes, Mayrhofen boasts lively après-ski venues, excellent dining options, and traditional Tyrolean hospitality. Its lift infrastructure is efficient, minimizing wait times. Whether for skiing, snowboarding, or enjoying the picturesque scenery, Mayrhofen delivers a memorable alpine experience.

We really enjoyed our time in mayrhofen, there was a great selection of restaurants both on piste and in the village. There are lots of nice hotels, bakeries and restaurants. We visited during Covid so the apres was a little dull but we could tell that it would normally be great.
