Winter in
Mayrhofen - a skier's paradise |
|
|
Skiing has grown up with Mayrhofen
and Mayrhofen has reached maturity because of skiing. The popular village
however is maturing gracefully, and has not taken on a "strictly for tourists"
air. It is still very much a Tyrolean village. The skiing takes places on
two separate mountains, the larger of which is reached by the impressive new
Penken gondola. This is the area right in the village and viewers should read
the main story for details. A half an hour or so drive from the village is
the year round skiing on the Hintertux glacier. This area is also covered in out
main detailed story. Make no mistake though these are two different areas with
totally different personalities. The fact that they are linked on one ski pass
is a bonus for the visitor to either area. |

place to learn to ski. Not only are there novice slopes high
on the mountain that provide good snow conditions and a
chance to enjoy the real atmosphere, but the resort also has
four English-speaking ski schools. Snow canons ensure that
most of the runs - for instance the great Ebenwald run that
goes down from the Ahom to the valley - have a virtual snow
guarantee.
