Home » Austria » Mayrhofen
Mayrhofen's main local skiing area is the Penken, linked to the edge of the resort by a gondola (opened in 1995). A ski bus runs every 15 minutes linking this and the second gondola access to the Penken, the Horbergbahn down the valley and the cable car up to the resort's second ski area at Ahorn, with key points in the town. Both are largely covered by snow-making technology. The Ahorn area is popular with beginners as it has almost exclusively easy slopes around the top and a chance to relax at the White Lounge. However the famous 5km (3 miles) long Ahorn Valley Run does run down this mountain. Beginners will also find key areas at the summit of the Penken to be the domain of learner skiers. Mayrhofen's skiing is classic country for intermediate standard skiers who will enjoy endless opportunities on the Penken, including long trails down to neighbouring Finkenberg. Better skiers will spend most of their time on the Penken, with the popular Devil's Run on the linked Horberg mountain. Head for the Knorren side first thing in the morning as thats the first spot to get the sunshine. The new Zillertal 3000 partnership with neighbouring Finkenberg, Eggalm and Rastkogel open up still more extensive possibilities and there are popular itineraries around the area. Another option is to take the bus to other resorts on the Zillertaler Super Skipass which opens up over 636km (312 miles) of trails and 160 lifts, including the guaranteed snow trails of the Hintertux glacier. The bus is free to Pass holders. The resort has four ski schools employing around 150 instructors, many English speaking.
