The snow-sure slopes mean that the resort is fortunate to have excellent conditions throughout the season.  Its 620 km of pistes make it the largest resort in the Ziller Valley, affording plenty of opportunity for on and off piste adventures.  The nearby Hintertux Glacier, often credited as being the largest glacier in the world, also provides some great opportunities for more advanced skiers, even out of the main ski season.

For freestyle skiers and snowboarders, a break in Mayrhofen will give you access to the second largest terrain park in Europe, giving you plenty of opportunity to show off your moves.  Although the village has grown somewhat over recent years to cater to the growing tourism trade, its traditional aspects remain the same, providing a charming and quintessentially Austrian atmosphere that appeals to its many visitors.

Once you have enjoyed your day on the slopes, you can be safe in the knowledge that the après-ski facilities and nightlife won’t disappoint.  If you’re considering a holiday here, consider a week in April to coincide with the ‘snowbombing’ event, combining skiing with some awesome live music and a party atmosphere.

If you’re after a memorable holiday, full of fun and vibrancy, book a Neilson Ski Holiday at this buzzing resort.
