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. |

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.
