Situated at the apex of the Zillertal, Mayrhofen offers its guests a wide range of recreational and sporting opportunities. The municipality is very popular due to its hospitable inhabitants and the beautiful landscape.
The start of the winter season in Mayrhofen is celebrated with the "RISE&FALL" winter opening. An extreme relay competition in which teams of four compete in ski mountaineering, paragliding, mountain biking, skiing and snowboarding. Mayrhofen is romantic, relaxed, down-to-earth but also stylish and super sporty. The two ski mountains Ahorn and Penken fulfill all skiers' wishes. With the Ahornbahn, Austria's largest gondola, you can float up to the Ahorn in just a few minutes, switch to a piste with a dream panorama and relax in the White Lounge, the igloo village at 2,000 meters. With a gradient of 78 percent, the Harikiri slope offers the steepest slope experience in Austria.
The best way to get to know the diverse range of offers around Mayrhofen is to follow the ski area's suggested routes. The family circuit and the beginners' circuit are more leisurely, both on easy slopes. For experienced skiers, there is the XXL circuit with Horberg, Penken, Rastkogel and Eggalm, as well as the altitude-meter-munching circuit with over 13,000 vertical meters on red and black slopes.
