Mayrhofen

Mayrhofen is centrally located in Zillertal, Tyrol, and combines iconic alpine skiing with a lively atmosphere year-round. The destination is especially renowned for the legendary Harakiri slope, Austria's steepest groomed run with a gradient of up to 78%, which has become a must for experienced skiers seeking challenges beyond the ordinary. Mayrhofen also serves as the gateway to the Hintertux Glacier, where glacier skiing allows for skiing 365 days a year – a rare experience even in the Alps. The ski area offers modern lifts, varied pistes, and access to large interconnected ski areas in Zillertal. After a day on the slopes, the town is famous for intense après-ski with popular bars, music, and authentic Austrian alpine coziness, attracting an international crowd. When the snow melts, Mayrhofen transforms into an active summer paradise with well-marked hiking trails, climbing opportunities, cycling, and nature experiences in lush valleys, past waterfalls, and offering wide views of the impressive Zillertal Alps. The combination of extreme slopes, year-round skiing, and a lively town atmosphere makes Mayrhofen one of Austria's most versatile mountain destinations.
