  Mayrhofen Austria Skiing Holidays
Mayrhofen is located at the end of the long flat Ziller valley and is one of Austria's best-known ski resorts.
Mayrhofen certainly has a rich history in catering first for city-dwellers who wanted to visit the mountains for the scenery and the clean air in the summer and later for sports enthusiasts who took to the mountain slopes in the winter.
The town itself is quite busy and lively during the day and at night, and, although the main traffic is kept away from the centre, the buses and taxis still do a roaring trade with people staying here and visiting from the other resorts in the Zillertal.

 Mayrhofen, Austria
Mayrhofen has a long standing place in the upper ranks of the world's winter sports resorts, blessed as it is with extensive ski areas.
The town's location in the wide and flat bottomed Ziller Valley adds to its appeal, as the Valley is famous for the classical beauty of the surrounding mountains.
The buildings in the town are almost all of traditional Tyrolean chalet design (albeit on a giant scale in some cases) giving the resort itself a natural ambience and a picturesque image in common with its surroundings.

 Ski Mayrhofen | ski holiday and ski resort hotels in Mayrhofen, Austria
Mayrhofen has long been associated with its thriving après ski scene and yet this reputation has gone someway to distracting from its excellent ski terrain.
The Mayrhofen ski area is impressive, one of the best in Austria and is backed up by the nearby Hintertux glacier which offers year round skiing and a snow guarantee for early or late ski holidays in Mayrhofen.
On the downside the Mayrhofen still lacks a ski out, with the only route back to the valley via one of the neighbouring ski resorts and whilst the ski lift out of Mayrhofen has been improved massively, it still remains the only feasible way up to the main ski area.
