About Mayrhofen

If you’re hunting for après-ski in the Ziller Valley then Mayrhofen is for you. Its location, in the glacial Zillertal range close to the Hintertux glacier which offers year-round skiing, is excellent, whether you like a long cruising run or an exciting fast drop. Plus it’s not lost its Tyrolean charms, the majority of the buildings are traditional and heavily-timbered - rustic even. If you’re here for the après-ski then you’ll find the best places to stay in Mayrhofen in the town proper.

But if you’re here to ski, or for the wonderful summer scene of hiking and gasthof-hopping, then you might find your idea of the best places just outside the resort, or tucked away in the surrounding hills.

Mayrhofen is small enough so that you can walk everywhere and there’s a good ski bus service which will whisk you to other places within the Zillertal valley ski area. Mayrhofen’s ski area spreads out around the villages of Finkenberg, Lanersbach and Hippach and there are accommodation options in all of these towns, which are perfect if you’re looking for something a bit quieter.

Maryhofen is also known for its spas and ‘wellness centres’, some are part of hotels, but there are some purpose built centres.

What not to miss

  • Mayrhofen has beautiful rustic architecture throughout the resort, just walking around the centre you will appreciate the Austrian buildings
  • Year round skiing courtesy of the glacier, while also having great skiing for all levels during the winter season
  • Mayrhofen is also a renowned wellness centre, a great place to relax after a long day on the slopes.
  • Mayrhofen is the place to go in this ski region for apres ski fun!

If you're planning to visit during the busy Christmas, New Year, Feb half term or the annual end of season Snowbomb Festival just be aware that the best places to stay in Mayrhofen will be exceptionally busy So either get very organised and book well ahead, or plan your trip for quieter times!
