About Mayrhofen
Mayrhofen in the back Zillertal is the action hotspot of the Tyrolean Alps, combining top-notch winter sports with a lively après-ski scene. The Penken gondola quickly takes skiers to 142 kilometers of slopes, while the Harakiri slope, with a 78% gradient, attracts adrenaline junkies as the steepest groomed slope in Austria. In summer, the hike to the Berliner Höhenweg, one of the most beautiful high-altitude trails in the Alps, starts here. The Hintertux Glacier at the end of the valley guarantees year-round skiing enjoyment at over 3,000 meters.
