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.

Access has been improved significantly thanks to the Penkenbahn gondola from town and new this year is the Möslbahn, another fast gondola to whisk skiers and boarders up to the Penken mountain. Be sure to purchase the Zillertaler Superskipass for your stay at it covers the entire valley – there’s 530km of pistes and the Hintertux Glacier to explore.

The Ski Club Rep Service is bound to be a great draw for members this winter – we’re in town this year between January and March. The Club also hosts a dedicated social hour in resort – check out the Reps tab for more information.

Pros and cons

Attractive village and great après-ski
Varied local mountain, especially for intermediates
Easy access to a massive 530km of slopes throughout the Zillertal Valley
Fantastic lift system and new Penkenbahn has made a big difference

Few challenges for experts, relying on powder for off piste
Some runs are crowded and lift queues can form
Getting to other resorts can take time on busy buses
Few long runs with lots of vertical

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.

Adventurous intermediates will certainly want to explore the other resorts in the Zillertal, especially the glacial slopes at Hintertux and the extensive network of linked reds of the Hochzillertal area above Kaltenbach and Fügen.

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.

Snow Overview

Austria

Updated 24/01

Western Austrian will benefit from unsettled conditions moving across the northwestern corner of the UK and Ireland towards the end of this weekend, with snowfall due for many areas. Around 10cm will come down Sunday and Monday, but this will pick up to around a foot over Tuesday and Wednesday.

Initially this will be limited to higher ground as the freezing line remains around 2,000m across the weekend and into the start of the new week. This does fall as Tuesday and Wednesday’s snowfall arrives, dropping down to 1,000m, meaning this snowfall reaches up and down the mountain.

Eastern Austria will see a similar pattern, albeit with more limited snowfall; as the freezing line in this part of the world remains high at 2,000m, later in the week snowfall won’t reach down the hill in quite the same way.

Repping dates: 25/01/2025 - 08/02/2025

I 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.

Fortunate 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.

Repping dates: 22/02/2025 - 08/03/2025

I 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.

Nick Coney

Repping dates: 08/03/2025 - 22/03/2025

Although 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.
