Endless snow and slopes in Mayrhofen

Mayrhofen is a charming alpine town located in the Zillertal ski area of Austria. Skiing has always been an important part of the area’s history, and it continues to draw in skiers from all over the world. Its rising popularity amongst British skiers is not without reason. Mayrhofen is part of Zillertal 3000, a ski area that offers no less than 338 kilometres of slopes to enjoy, including the (open year-round!) Hintertux Glacier and the steepest slope in Austria: the Harakiri. This variety makes Zillertal 3000 a popular ski area for both beginners and advanced skiers. The Hintertux Glacier is at an altitude of 3,250 metres, giving you guaranteed snow all the way from December to April.
