The Super Zillertal ski area offers incredible skiing for all levels of skier.

The lift pass we have available in Mayrhofen is known as the “SuperSkiPass” and not only does it cover Mayrhofen but the entirety of the Zillertal Valley.
Mayrhofen itself is large enough and offers a variety of terrain to keep most people content for at least a week. There are further ski areas a short ride away on the free bus service all covered by one lift pass meaning there is more than enough piste for everyone. Even if you don’t get around all of the areas we recommend the Hintertux glacier as one in particular that is well worth exploring.
