The ski area from Mayrhofen
Mayrhofen has two mountains of its own: the sporty main mountain with extensive, mostly red terrain and the famously extreme Harakiri descent, plus a calmer sunny plateau that is ideal for families and beginners. Together with the surrounding areas and the valley pass, you get 628 kilometres of pistes and 146 lifts between 565 and 2946 metres.
The glacier at the back of the valley, a short bus ride away, completes the offer. Advanced and athletic skiers are in one of Tyrol's best spots in Mayrhofen; the share of demanding pistes is clearly above average here.
Snow reliability in Mayrhofen
The village sits low in the valley, but the ski areas above climb quickly to altitudes where snow is dependable all season; the valley network reaches 2946 metres. Recent winters recorded up to 158 centimetres of snow.
The valley runs are most vulnerable in December and March; the cable cars then take you down. The real safety net is the glacier at the back of the valley, skiable for most of the year. In practice this means that whichever week you book, a full ski week from Mayrhofen is all but guaranteed.
The village of Mayrhofen
Mayrhofen is a large, lively village with a long main street full of shops, restaurants, bars and hotels. It is internationally renowned for its après-ski: from ski huts at the base stations to clubs in the centre, there is something going on every night. The annual music festival in April adds to the party reputation.
At the same time it has remained a genuine Tyrolean village, with a Zillertalbahn railway station, traditional gasthofs and family hotels alongside the nightlife venues. Its scale means buzz and conviviality go hand in hand; for silence, look to the neighbouring villages.
Who is Mayrhofen for
Mayrhofen is the destination for those who want it all: big, sporty ski terrain, exuberant après-ski and a village with urban amenities. Groups of friends and athletic skiers are most at home here, and snowboarders rate the terrain and the parks in the area.
Families are well served too, thanks to the calm sunny plateau and the children's facilities, though they must accept the lively centre. Beginners find practice terrain at altitude. With 50 accommodations from 619 euros per person, there is choice in every price bracket, from apartments to spa hotels.
Practical: getting there and booking
Mayrhofen lies at the back of the Zillertal, about three quarters of an hour from the Inntal motorway; from the Netherlands or Belgium it is a full day's drive. Its rail access is remarkable: the Zillertalbahn runs from Jenbach right into the village, making a train holiday genuinely practical here.
With us you book from 50 accommodations starting at 619 euros per person. Mayrhofen is in demand all season; Christmas, February and the festival week in April are busiest and priciest. January and March offer the best balance of price, snow and availability.
