Ski holidays to Mayrhofen are typically based in the picturesque Zillertal valley. A few years
ago the Zillertal holiday villages of Mayrhofen, Hippach, Finkenberg and Tux joined
their mountain lift systems to create the super ski area-“Zillertal 3000”
offering 157km of piste.
Zillertal-3000 claims to guarantee snow with 95 snow cannons forming the largest
snowmaking system in the Ziller valley. The area caters well for intermediates with
60% of the runs in their favour. Although there are sufficient ski schools for beginners
and there is enough to challenge the more advanced. Three permanent, free race-tracks
with time metering provide an excellent opportunity for races and the new Harakiri
descent is the steepest, groomed piste in Austria and is only recommended for really
excellent riders.
Snowbombing, a music and boarding winter festival hits Mayrhofen every year
(check the snowbombing website for dates) Expect live acts, some of the world´s top DJs,
and hoards of boarders, skiers and apres ski hedonists for an unforgettable week-long party.
For apres ski activity, you can dine in a choice of pizzerias, Tyrolean, Mexican,
Italian and hamburger joints. There are a host of late-night cafes and bars with live
music in the area. On ski holidays to Mayrhofen apres-ski centres around the Bruke Hotel although the resort also
offers 2 discos and a casino.
Activities in Mayrhofen for non-skiiers include ice skating, winter walking, indoor tennis and ski-doos.
Ski holidays to Mayrhofen attract a cosmopolitan mix of Germans, British, Dutch and Italians. It’s
a favourite with families although it is also suitable for singles, couples and
groups as it offers something for everyone.
