Set in the stunning, steep-sided Zillertal Valley, Mayrhofen has a well-deserved reputation among British skiers for an excellent ski holiday. Its ski area is situated on two separate plateaux, the Penken and the Ahorn, yet there is a whole lot more to the Super Zillertal area than this.

A free ski bus service connects a vast 625km area of runs encompassing the resorts of Zell am Ziller, Gerlos, Koningsleiten and the snowsure Hintertux glacier.

The large, traditional-looking resort centre offers excellent shopping and a great choice of cafés and restaurants for every taste and budget during your ski holiday. Numerous bars, pubs, clubs and a casino become popular meeting places in the evenings as the centre livens up but can be easily avoided if you’re after a relaxing, peaceful holiday. There are plenty of indoor and outdoor non-ski activities making Mayrhofen equally enjoyable for any non-skiers.

It’s the extent and variety of terrain that makes this resort suitable for all abilities, as highly regarded by families and couples as it is by groups on their ski holidays.
