Fabulous scenery
Con
often too touristy - no wonder
In a nutshell
Great for non-experienced skiers/snowboarders
keith750cc Says: Penkenbahn is where all the ski schools meet and ski, so you can imagine its pretty busy at certain times, however from the Penken lift, you dont just have to ski down the front side, go over the top and down the other side away from the crowds ( follow the sun ). There are...
keith750cc Says: I'm sure there are other things to do in Mayrhofen, but I can only tell you about skiing or boarding, mainly a beginner to higher intermediate resort ( bigger % of Red runs ) Mayrhofen has much piste to choose from. Ahornbahn has red and blue, slow gradual pistes ideal for...

Bäckerei-Konditorei-Cafe Kostner: Coffee and cakes with style
keith750cc Says: This is a Cafe, a pastry shop a bakery and apartments all in one, all I can say is the that the pastries or danish are delicious, you can sit outside under space heaters and eat your cake and drink your coffee, great service recommend. Coffee and Apple strudel
Hans Gasser Butcher/ cafe: great grub to go
keith750cc Says: Hans Gresser butcher/ takeout is situated opposite the bottom of the Penken lift, ideal for some superb meat, sausage etc etc on bread, buns, etc etc or soup. You can eat in but seats are limited, its ideal for a great put me on until dinner/evening meal etc after a hard day...
Picadilly pub: Quiet and needs life
keith750cc Says: Sat down in here for a drink one night and we almost fell asleep, not much going on. 2 parts...1 with bar and little booth type seats that will only fit 3 max, other part has a dart board and what looked like a picnic table, tried their best to make it look like an English...
keith750cc Says: The ICE BAR is at the bottom of the Penken lift, you cant miss it. Its nowt fancy, but its LOUD and has a good atmosphere, beer comes only in bottles, people dance on tables and generally act like teenagers ( as my daughter put it " very embarrassing at their age" Oh dear,...
keith750cc Says: As Mayrhofen is spread around, access to lift station from many hotels etc is not easy with ski boots and gear, therefore as most resorts there is a free skibus, they are lettered and have specific routes to and from the lifts, make sure you get on the correct one and...
Innsbruck airport to Mayrhofen
lotharlerch Says: From Innsbruck airport there is a normal city bus going every 20 minutes directly to the central railway station ("Hauptbahnhof" in German). Tickets for this bus from the ticket machine in the airport or from the tobacco shop, if you are two persons it is practical to buy a...
keith750cc Says: Several supermarkets in Mayrhofen, BILLA ( Marienplatz 346 ) which is situated 50 metres between the hotel Rose and the Hotel Kramerwirt and SPAR ( Hauptstrasse Mayrhofen ) which has better alcohol selection.There is another larger supermarket which is further out of town...
ALL / ANY of them: SKI / BOARD GEAR
keith750cc Says: Most ski shops in Mayrhofen are expensive compared to internet shopping from the UK, however they do have gear that I have never seen, but also price tags to match, Mayrhofen encorages a hoard of rich Russian tourists and I'm sure some of these shops are set up for them,...
ettenaj Says: I was pleasently suprised by the cows all wearing the cow bells, they sounded so peaceful as they grazed the day away. Each one had a different size I should imagine it would have to do with their age.
ettenaj Says: Even though many of the restuarants have live music in the evenings, this stops at 10.30pm so even if you are staying the the centre of town there should be no problem with load music keeping you awake!
ettenaj Says: I noticed when walking beside the river that there are warning signs about rapid flooding, aparently some gates are opened somewhere further up stream to release the volume of water thus causing the river to surge, be aware of this at all times.
ettenaj Says: This is a danger warning to the cows really, as once above a certain height the cattle have the right of way, so if they are sat in the road you just have to wait until they want to move! Please drive carefully as you never know what is around the next bend.
keith750cc Says: Small rucksack, we made up lunch from the hotel breakfast buffet for our dinner, paying mountain prices for a ham and cheese roll may make your eyes water. Please wear a helmet, buy one, borrow one or hire one, we all have them and wouldnt ski/board without, having spoken...

SKI / BOARD HIRE PRICES ( BEWARE )
keith750cc Says: SKI / BOARD HIRE Many will require the hire of good quality ski or board and boots, as most travel with a tour company, you may feel obliged to take up their various great sounding price deals from their recommended retailer, before you pre-book please take a note from me,...
JessH Says: Mayrhofen is located at 630m in the upper Ziller valley (Zillertal), a scenic valley in the heart of Tirol & Austria. 190 km from Munich, 170 km from Salzburg and 65km from Innsbruck Airport.BY TRAIN:Direct rail service is not available from either airport, so passengers...
ettenaj Says: Unfortunatley this cable cable car was not in use as there had been a fatality on the opening day, one of the workmen had been killed so there fore there is an inquest being held at the moment, unsure of its reopening date.
