Skiing in Mayrhofen, Austria
Posted on April 12th, 2010 by admin
Need to know: At 630m, Mayrhofen is low but has 3 breathtaking gondolas which whisk you up to the ski slopes on either side from the valley. Novices will like the comfortable ski slopes of the Ahorn mountain. The other mountain, Penken, is excellent for intermediates, with a variety of red runs, and a valley called Tappenalm, dotted with good cafes.
Very good for: Getting to by road or train from budget-airline-friendly Salzburg and Munich. Once in town, there is certainly a range of decently priced accommodation, and food markets for self-caterers or picnic fans. The cafes and coffee shops will keep a non-skiing parent or grandparent interested, too.
Added bonus: Soon to be freestyle skiers or snowboarders will enjoy the park at the best of Tappenalm.
