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 11/02

Good, steady snowfall will come for much of Austria this week, although in a tale that has dogged the region for much of this season it will be limited to upper slopes because of an unfavourable freezing line during this period. It will sit between 1,500m and 2,000m for most of the rest of this week, with around 45cm of snowfall coming in this period – including 30cm on Wednesday alone.

This will being to drop as the week continues, with the 20cm of snowfall expected on Thursday and Friday beginning to hit lower slopes, too. It will dip below 1,000m across the region to welcome in the weekend, before dropping off a cliff on Sunday, when chances of sun will break through the last few flurries of snowfall.

Things remain cloudy and snowy into the new week, although it remains a bit too far out to see exactly what will happen.

Mark Fenton

Repping dates: 07/02/2026 - 14/02/2026

I discovered skiing at 40 and instantly wondered why I’d waited so long to try this incredible sport! Since that first run, I’ve packed in as many ski trips as my bank balance (and my wife) will allow. For me, skiing is the full experience: breathtaking mountains, meeting like-minded adventurers, and the unbeatable vibe of après-ski. I love carving up the pistes, but my real passion lies off-piste and exploring the backcountry.

When I’m not chasing powder, you’ll find me cycling over hills and mountains or navigating the trees (and the rough!) at my local golf club.

Happy skiing everyone!

Repping dates: 14/02/2026 - 21/02/2026

Ski touring in alps, norway and central asia. Recently started telemarking, raced the inferno a few times, this year entered super 3. Really enjoy spending time skiing and telemarking being in the mountains.

Philippa Oram

Repping dates: 21/02/2026 - 07/03/2026

I love being in the mountains and countryside walking/cycling in the summer and skiing in the winter. Skiing is definitely my passion, especially the thrill of deep powder. I discovered the ski club around 15 years ago and have enjoyed meeting and skiing with SCGB members and reps on many Freshtracks weekends and weeks. I completed the Reps course in Dec 22 and am very much looking forward to skiing with familiar and new faces this season.

Nigel Paterson

Repping dates: 07/03/2026 - 21/03/2026

Married with two grown up daughters. I have been skiing for over 30 years and love to travel miles on skis preferably to a great lunch venue. I will tackle any piste and reasonable off piste always taking into consideration those I am skiing with and everyone's safety. I particularly like skiing in the soft snow just off the piste where conditions are often best. I successfully completed the Ski Leader Programme in December 2016.
