A brief overview
Set in the stunning, steep-sided Zillertal Valley, Mayrhofen has
a well-deserved reputation among British skiers. 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 cafes and restaurants for every taste and budget. 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 nonskiers. 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.
