A total of 142 km of connected ski slopes as well as 58 lift facilities provide careless days on snow in the fabulous skiing area of the Mayrhofner Bergbahnen lift facilities. The Leisure Mountain Ahorn is perfect for carving, the wide slopes are ideal for beginners and families. The Action Mountain Penken offers some steep runs and other highlights, including the Skimovie Track with free video download and the Harakiri Slope with a downhill gradient of 78%. Who dares?

Freestyle action for snowboarders is provided in the Vans Penken Park, boasting challenging elements as e.g. DownRail, Kinked Rail, Straight Box, Curved Box, picnic table and A-Frame Box. It was already elected the best snow park of Europe whereas the whole skiing area was declared "5-star ski resort" by ski-resort.de in 2019. For kids, however, there are the "Pepis Kinderland" at the Penkenjoch as well as - new in 2019/2020 - the Family Park at the Fun Ride Ahorn.

However, the skiing area is not only popular thanks to its slopes, but also due to its off-piste programme and Après Ski. One of the highlights is the igloo village "White Lounge" on the panorama plateau of Mt. Ahorn with the possibility of overnight stays. Moreover, the cozy Freiraum Café-Bistro at 2,000 m a.s.l. offers fascinating panoramas and an interesting architecture. Mayrhofen - together with the Hintertux Glacier - is part of the Ski Zillertal 3000 ski region, the Snow Card Tyrol (more than 90 skiing areas in Tyrol) and the Zillertal Super Ski Pass (4 ski regions in the Zillertal valley, 535 km of slopes, 180 lift facilities) are valid here.

Due to the tightened measures taken on November 3, 2020 to control the coronavirus, the start of the 2020-21 winter season has been postponed to December 24, 2020. Catering and accommodation establishments will be closed until the end of February 2021.
