Penken and
Horberg-Gerent has plenty of varied runs, mostly suiting the
wide range of intermediates. However, there are a number of
tougher ski routes, notably between the peak of Schafskopf
and the village of Hippach. For snowboarders a huge fun park
with various attractions will be opened near the
,Hintertrett"- quadruple-chairlift . And good skiers and
snowboarders have the opportunity to try the interesting
glacier skiing at Hintertux half an hour away.
Those who prefer leisurely
lunches to deep snow adventure should not miss the collection of
mountain restaurants around the Mayrhofen ski area.
Mayrhofen not only offers a
ski pass covering the entire Ziller valley (enabling you to ski on the
glacier and to use more than 150 lifts), but there are lower priced
tickets for children, youngsters and those skiing after 11 am, 11.45am
or 2pm. The less you ski the less you pay.
Like birds on the wing
A brilliant blue sky,
shimmering white snow, a light wind gently sweeping up the mountain
slopes. That is the backdrop for paragliders hovering in the air like
birds on the wing, turning their circles high above the heads of the
skiers. With fascinating lightness the colourful sails rise up whisking
the pilot off the ground and leaving a trail of footprints that vanishes
in thin air.
You don't have to be a
pilot yourself to be able to enjoy the unique experience of gliding
silently through the skies. In Mayrhofen you can take a ride in a
double-seated glider, along with an experienced pilot. Operating two
control lines together with great precision the pilot guides his
passengers safely down to the valley. |
