Set in the impressive Zillertal Valley, Mayrhofen has a well-deserved reputation among British skiers and snowboarders for its well-connected 671km ski area, which includes the snow sure Hintertux glacier and a lively après-ski scene. For freestyle skiers and snowboarders there is also the second largest terrain park in Europe to try out flips and tricks.
