Big skiing at the heart of the Zillertal
Mayrhofen is the liveliest village in the Zillertal, a long valley in Tyrol that holds several linked ski areas and, at its head, the Hintertux Glacier, where skiing is possible for much of the year. Mayrhofen's own slopes on the Penken and the Ahorn include the Harakiri, the steepest groomed piste in Austria, as well as broad, sunny runs for every level.
Our Mayrhofen collection includes 29 chalets and apartments, from family chalets in the village to larger chalets with saunas and views up the valley.
Here is a guide to Mayrhofen and the Zillertal.

Penken, Ahorn and the Harakiri
The Penken is Mayrhofen's main ski area, linked towards Finkenberg and Hippach, with varied runs and a well-known snow park. The Ahorn opposite has wide, gentle slopes ideal for beginners. The Harakiri, with a gradient of up to 78 per cent, is a challenge for confident skiers.
A glacier up the valley
The Hintertux Glacier, a short drive from Mayrhofen, offers reliable snow at altitude when lower slopes are thin. The main season usually runs from December to April. Our concierge can arrange transfers, ski hire, lessons and Zillertal lift passes.
