For some years the Mayrhofen ski slopes have been connected to the
Finkenberg, Rastkogel and Eggalm slopes.
With 51 lifts, the slopes in the Mayrhofen Skiing Area can be
mastered daily from 08.30 to 16.30 hrs.
Specially recommended circuits from the cable car company promise
various highlights, fun and action; like for example up to 13,000m
difference in altitude in once circuit - with the so called
"Höhenmeterfresser" route.
If that's still not enough, these is also the challenge of
snowboarding.
Because the Mayrhofen Skiing Area offers a fun park - named one of
the best in the German-speaking Alps - with various obstacles and a
120m-long half pipe.
The skiing area on the PENKEN offers every visitor a varied
experience on the piste! From sunny and treeless summit slopes, wide
carver areas and demanding steep north-facing slopes, powder runs
etc. - everything is on offer here. A particular highlight is a
descent on the "Harakiri", Austria's steepest ski slope. For snow
boarders there's Vans Penken Park. The fastest cable car boarding
and shortest waiting times are offered by the Hobergbahn.
The Ahornbahn, the largest shuttle cable car in Austria with
room for 160 people, takes you up to the panoramic Ahorn plateau in
just six and a half minutes. The AHORN is a real insider’s tip for
beginners, newcomers and families, who will find ideal conditions on
the gentle slopes around the 2,000m Ahorn plateau. Athletic skiers
are also well catered for by the challenging 5.5 kilometre descent
to Mayrhofen. Those good on their feet can take a sharp intake of
breath on the maintained panoramic footpath and enjoy the
sensational views.
If you have ever been keen to sit on a sledge and race down a snowy
hillside or watch your kids in amazement - then we have the right
suggestion for you.
Natural Toboggan Run from Gasthof Wiesenhof
The toboggan run begins at an altitude of around 1,560 metres at the
Gasthof Wiesenhof.
Gerlosstein Toboggan Run (longest natural toboggan run in the
Zillertal)
This toboggan run is located on the Hainzenberg and, with a total
length of 7 km, is the longest floodlit natural toboggan run in the
Zillertal.
Snowshoeing.........No other activity enables such a close
contact with the tranquillity of the winter mountain landscape. In
the woods only a few tracks from deer, rabbits and foxes break the
perfect white snow blanket. No specific previous knowledge is
required, so that non-skiers also get the opportunity to experience
the mountain winters with friends or colleagues.
Ski & Snowboardtours........Due to the growing popularity of
free riding, more and more boarders and skiers venture into the back
country – for good skiers and boarders the fun starts where the
piste ends.
