This ski resort tops the list of the oldest and best on the Austrian list, and therefore tours to Mayrhofen are always popular with fans of active pastime during the winter holidays.
History with geography
The alpine village, on the site of which the Mayrhofen ski resort appeared, was once nestled between the slopes of Ahorn and Penken. It is here that guests will find breathtakingly beautiful mountain landscapes and slopes overgrown with fir trees, along which it is so pleasant to sweep with the breeze or walk on a footpath in search of harmony with oneself lost in the bustling city.
There are three main ski regions for the participants of the Mayrhofen tours: the Hintertux glacier - for the most experienced and advanced, Ahorn - for the "green" penguins and Penken - for those who see skis not for the first time and quite confidently hold on to them on the mountain slope. By the way, the eternal ice of Hintertux allows skiing even in the height of July, and it was here in 1968 that the first summer ski resort in Tyrol was opened.
Technical excellence
For participants of tours in Mayrhofen, almost endless opportunities are open for practicing their favorite sports:
- The length of the trails in the resort is different, but the longest winds from the glacier into the valley for 12 kilometers.
- In total, 42 lifts of various designs work for the needs of athletes, which allows, despite the influx of guests, to avoid queues and traffic jams, lifting more than 60 thousand people every hour to the starting points.
- The entire area of the tracks is controlled by special equipment and provides perfect artificial snow in any weather.
- Almost three dozen cafes and restaurants are open on the slopes, where you can have a full lunch and a light snack in between skiing.
- For those who cannot imagine their life without snowboarding, tours to Mayrhofen are the perfect opportunity to try out one of the best snow parks in the Alps. Several halfpipes, roof rails, snow figures and other joys of boarders will help to hone your skills.
- Buying ski passes is much more profitable for the entire duration of your tour in Mayrhofen. The daily purchase of tickets turns out to be about twenty percent more expensive.
- You can get to the resort from several airports. The nearest one is in Innsbruck, 65 kilometers from the mountain. A little further Munich and Vienna.
