Ski the Ziller Valley of Austria

Mayrhofen is a small town nestled in the Ziller Valley and surrounded by the steep mountains of the Austrian Alps. Known for its beauty and warm Tyrolean hospitality, this friendly village and its inhabitants will ensure that your vacation is an unforgettable experience both on and off the slopes. The vast region of Mayrhofen and the Ziller Valley includes over 150 lifts, with vertical drops of up to 4,500 feet, terrain for beginners to experts, and numerous on-slope restaurants and bars. Mayrhofen itself consists of three main ski areas: the Penkenjoch, the Horberg-Gerent, and the Ahorn. A new gondola ensures a speedy ascent from the village center to the top of the Penken area. The other two areas are accessible by using the free shuttle bus. In addition, it 

is possible to travel on local trains and buses to visit other nearby ski resorts. At the head of the valley is the pretty resort of Hintertux, lying at the foot of the glacier. With the base of the resort at 4,920 feet and the height of the top lift station at 10,693 feet, excellent snow conditions are the norm. The Zillertal Super Ski Pass covers all ski areas in the Valley, including train and bus transportation between the resorts.

If you decide to take a few days off from the slopes, you’ll enjoy exploring Mayrhofen and the surrounding villages in the valley. In addition, sightseeing excursions are available to Innsbruck and the Swarovski Crystal World Museum, Salzburg, Kitzbühel and Vipiteno, Italy. For non-skiers, a Pedestrian Pass is available, allowing access to several miles of winter walking paths, spectacular views and many on-slope restaurants. The elegant, yet cozy Hotel Neue Post will be your home for the week. This First Class hotel is located in the center of the village, and its friendly Tyrolean atmosphere is sure to charm you. Hotel features include a restaurant, bar (with daily après-ski dancing) and a large spa area with Finnish sauna, steam bath, and whirlpool.
