Located at the end of the Ziller valley, Mayrhofen is one of Austria’s best known winter resorts, offering an ideal playground for anyone who enjoys perfectly groomed slopes. The skiing and boarding is split between the Ahorn and Penken ski areas. Ahorn appeals especially to beginners and families, with its wide, cruisy pistes while Penken entices the more adventurous, home to the legendary Harakiri slope, the steepest piste in Austria – it reaches an inclination of 78%. In total there’s 142km of pistes in the resort, but jump on the 30 minute glacier bus to the end of the valley, and a whole new world opens up with skiing up to 3,200m on the Hintertux glacier.
