Mayrhofen
Right in the heart of the beautiful Tyrol lies a mountain valley, where snow is assured, with a gigantic skiing arena which extends into the Hintertux Glacier area - this is Zillertal. There are hundreds of miles of prepared ski slopes for beginners to expert skiers. Here everyone can find exactly the challenge they are looking for.
Unusual kinds of winter sports are available-sometimes right in front of your door! Take off into the air with paragliders or stay on the ground with your snow-board.
Whether you prefer a charming mountain chalet or a rendezvous in the hotel bar, the sounds of a disco or an original Tyrolean Folklore Evening, the range of entertainment offerings for young and old in this "liveliest valley in the world" cannot be surpassed!
Mayrhofen is the largest town in the valley and has managed to retain the ambiance and architectural integrity of a traditional Tyrolean village. The skiing takes place on two separate mountains (Penken and Ahorn), the larger of which is reached by the impressive Penken cable car. The local ski area is extensive, but the Super Zillertal pass increases the maximum to 478 km and 149 lifts.
The Super Zillertal pass includes the other Ziller Valley villages of: Hippach, Zell am Ziller, Fugen, Kaltenbach, Hintertux, and Gerlos. A free ski bus links all together on a very regular basis but a rental car would be handy here.
