Mayrhofen - Hintertux, Austria
Hintertux and Mayrhofen ski resorts are located in the scenic Zillertal
Valley, southeast of Innsbruck in Tyrol province. Linked with the
Finkenberg, Rastkogel and Eggalm ski areas, they make up the gigantic
Ski-Zillertal 3000 region, with approximately 500kms of superb slopes
on offer. The Hintertux Glacier has the added advantage of affording
year round skiing.
Mayrhofen is the main resort town, located far beneath the ski runs at
just 630m above sea level. It is a beguiling town, permeated with
whitewashed mountain houses and wooden balconies, and offering a
plethora of interesting shops, from fashionable boutiques to craft
workshops.
The pisted runs in Mayrhofen and Hintertux resorts equal 146kms, with
another 346kms in the remaining Zillertal area. The division of slopes
in Mayrhofen / Hintertux is 27 per cent beginner runs, 59 per cent
intermediate and 14 per cent advanced. The longest run in the two
resorts is 5.5kms, and the slopes are connected by a system of 46
lifts.

night scene, particularly in Mayrhofen, which is known for its wild
après-ski. Hintertux is marginally quieter, with some good restaurants
