Mayrhofen holidays
Mayrhofen is one of the Tirol’s most popular resorts and for good reason. A pretty and lively alpine village in the magnificent Ziller Valley, offering a wide range of activities amid spectacular scenery.
This lively bustling village offers a plethora of activities and also provides a wonderful base for a more relaxed holiday. The attractive centre is lined with pavement cafés, restaurants, craft shops and friendly bars that add to the amiable atmosphere. The snow covered Hintertux Glacier at the head of the valley and surrounding mountains are just waiting to be explored.
The glaciated Ziller Valley is straight out of a geography text book with its wide, flat valley floor and steep sided mountains that play host to a fantastic range of hiking trails as well as more adrenaline fuelled adventures such as paragliding and summer skiing. However if you prefer to take life at a slower pace you will not be disappointed. Enjoy a delicious coffee and cake in the town centre, ride a cable car for a mountain top lunch or simply relax by the pool and admire the magnificent views.
One of Austria's most popular winter sports destinations with a wealth of attractions for skiers, snowboarders, non-skiers and families.
