Weekly programme, social hour, and contact details
Although the 139km of local slopes might sound slightly limited, there is excellent variety and fast lifts at every corner – there’s been 26 new lifts here since 2000.

On the Slopes
The town itself has something for everyone, including families and those looking to party. Try and stay as close to the Penkenbahn as possible for the easiest access to the slopes, but don’t worry if you’re further out as the bus system in the valley is very good.
The 139km of local slopes are best suited to intermediates, but there are some good challenges above Finkenberg and in the Harakari, Mayrhofen claims to have the steepest groomed slope in Austria. There are some good beginner areas, both at the top of the Penkenbahn and on the Penken summit itself. Add in the rest of the Zillertal resorts – including Fügen, Kaltenbach, Zell am Ziller and the Hintertux Glacier – and the ski area becomes even more impressive.
For Beginners
You do have to ride up the mountain to access the beginner areas, but this does mean that they are snowsure as the resort itself is at a lowly altitude of 630m. Once up the mountain however and there are some fantastic beginner areas – including Pepis Kinderland on the Penken summit, the Übungsland Penken at the top of the Penkenbahn. The gentle blues on the Ahorn are also recommended for beginners and this sector is usually quieter.
For Intermediates
Most of the Penken is suitable for intermediates and there is some great cruising across the mountain. The slopes of Eggalm are also well worth exploring and here it’s possible to notch up 1000 vertical metres via piste 77.
For Advanced/Expert & Off Piste
Of course there is the 78% Harakari piste, which rightly has a reputation as a very steep and challenging run. Elsewhere the blacks are much less intimidating, but there is some great off piste in the area following fresh snowfall. Advanced skiers will want to clock up the miles by visiting as many of the other resorts in the Zillertal as possible – but note that none of the resorts offer serious challenges for experts.
In the Resort
Even as the village has grown, the buildings have stayed traditional in design and for its size it is quite attractive. The steep valley makes for impressive scenery but it does mean that in mid-winter the town is often in the shade.
Crucially the valley road bypasses the village so the centre is very quiet, albeit not completely pedestrianised.
For Families
There are some great family-friendly hotels in Mayrhofen and childcare in the resort is reportedly very good. Although the learning areas are up the hill, they are excellent, and it means you can head off skiing straight after dropping the kids off at ski school. The Erlebnisbad swimming complex is very popular on bad weather days.
For Après
Mayrhofen has a great reputation for après. It all kicks off at the top of the Penkenbahn in the Pilzbar and unlike in most resorts, the download down the gondola makes for a safe return afterwards. Revellers then pour off the gondola into Ice Bar and Bruck’n Stadl where the table dancing kicks off. We’d also recommend Mike’s Sportsbar – it is very popular with Brits and has live sport on big screens. Snowbombing, one of the biggest events in the Alps, is hosted here every spring, attracting the likes of Liam Gallagher and The Prodigy.

Updated 24/12
The last of the excellent snowfall tails off on Christmas eve, before things settle down across the region for the remainder of this week. High pressure dominates throughout, meaning fine, dry and bright conditions are in store for Christmas Day and right the way through to the end of the weekend. A few pockets of cloud and floccons of snow move in to the east of the region on Friday and Saturday, but these won’t make too much of a dent on the snowstick.
Temperatures will be cool, with a freezing line hovering around 1,000m overnight and spiking up to 2,000m during the midday sun – that means highs of 1-3°C can be expected at 1,500m.
Otherwise, things are holding steady with some excellent skiing conditions coming up.
The Ski Club office is closed on Friday 28 December – there will be no overviews published on this date, returning Tuesday 31 December. The Ski Club wishes you a Merry Christmas!

Adrian Pickett
Repping dates: 28/12/2024 - 11/01/2025I started skiing in my mid 20's (some time ago) and was immediately bitten by the ski bug! Since then I have skied many resorts in various countries including Austria, France, Italy, Canada and Argentina. I see skiing as a social activity and love the element of skiing with people of all ages and abilities. I have managed over the years to evolve my career (TV/AV production and postproduction) to be able to fit around my time on the ski slopes! I have greatly benefited from skiing with the Ski Club in the past and so now feel privileged to be able to contribute as a Ski Club Rep this year.
Andrew Porter
Repping dates: 11/01/2025 - 25/01/2025As a lad, I was fortunate to participate in school ski trips to Pertisau and Gotzens in Austria - and thought it was the best thing ever. However, career and mortgage took over and it was some considerable time before I managed to find the opportunity to have another go. Following rediscovery, I have been striving to make up for the 'wilderness' years ever since. I particularly enjoy piste performance skiing and have a soft spot for Austria, Switzerland and Italy.
Steve Nixon
Repping dates: 25/01/2025 - 08/02/2025I started skiing in my late twenties and got hooked. I have skied in lots of different resorts all over Europe, often using my varied travels to seek out new places. I became a ski leader in 2015 and I plan to ski with lots of members over the coming years. Outside of the winter months my main hobbies include driving my veteran cars and keeping fit, often doing running events for charities. As for work, well I am an interim executive, which means I go in to businesses and help run them for a period of time, often being called in when things need turning around. These assignments take me all over the world. Thanks for checking out my profile and I look forward to skiing with anyone who wants a great time out on the slopes.
Andrew Yool
Repping dates: 08/02/2025 - 22/02/2025Fortunate enough to live and work on the edge of the Lake District I’m never far away from a mountain! Although beautiful, Cumbria’s are usually lacking on the snow front! I spend my summers running an event hire company which is pretty much 24/7, but that means I can spend most of the winter skiing so it’s not all bad, I love meeting like minded people, fresh powder, blue skies & hunting out that best run of the day.

Nick Coney
Repping dates: 08/03/2025 - 22/03/2025Although I came to skiing quite late in life, I've spent the last 20 years (and a commensurate amount of cash and energy!) trying hard to make up for missed opportunities and the repping service allows me the chance to ski with like minded individuals and to explore new resorts and territories and to meet fellow alpine enthusiasts. I'm equally happy searching out new tracks in powder as carving rails on piste. If only I could ski them as well as I imagine myself to be doing so.
