About Mayrhofen

Mayrhofen sits at the head of the Zillertal valley in Tyrol, Austria – one of the most accessible and varied ski destinations in the Eastern Alps. With Hintertux glacier next door offering year-round skiing, and a village atmosphere that balances lively après-ski with genuine Tyrolean character, it draws skiers and hikers in equal measure across both winter and summer. A direct private transfer from the airport is by far the easiest way to start your trip.

AlpRoads provides fixed-price private transfers to Mayrhofen from Munich, Innsbruck, Salzburg, and beyond. No shared coaches, free ski equipment transport, door-to-door delivery.

Skiing in the Zillertal

Mayrhofen itself sits unusually low for a ski resort at just 630 metres above sea level, but its ski area – accessed via two main gondolas from the village – reaches 2,500 metres on the Penken and Ahorn mountains. The resort is part of the broader Zillertaler Alpen ski region, which, when combined with the Hintertux glacier, amounts to an enormous 665 kilometres of connected ski terrain across the valley.

The Penken is the heart of Mayrhofen’s skiing: a wide, varied mountain with runs for every level and a dense network of lifts linking to the Finkenberg, Rastkogel, and Eggalm areas. Advanced skiers head for the Harakiri – Austria’s steepest groomed run, at a punishing 78% gradient. It is served by its own drag lift and is a rite of passage for strong skiers visiting the resort. The Ahorn mountain, reached by its own gondola, is gentler terrain well-suited to families and beginners.

Hintertux Glacier

The most important asset in the Zillertal for serious skiers is the Hintertux glacier, located 20 kilometres up the valley from Mayrhofen. It is one of only a handful of glaciers in the Alps that offers skiing every month of the year, and its 86 kilometres of runs above 2,660 metres are reliably excellent regardless of the season. Day trips from Mayrhofen to Hintertux are very popular; a free ski bus connects the valley resorts.

The Zillertal Superskipass covers Mayrhofen, Hintertux, and all other linked areas in the valley, making it the sensible choice for a week’s stay.

The Village

Mayrhofen’s village is lively and well-equipped. The après-ski scene revolves around the famous Ice Bar and several other popular venues close to the Penken gondola base. Restaurants range from traditional Tyrolean Stuben to modern international dining. The village centre is walkable, and accommodation ranges from small family-run guesthouses to four-star hotels with spa facilities.

Summer in Mayrhofen

Mayrhofen’s appeal is not limited to winter. The Zillertal is one of Tyrol’s finest hiking valleys in summer, with an extensive network of marked trails, mountain huts, and via ferrata routes. The Zillertaler Höhenstrasse ridge road offers spectacular panoramic views across the Alps. Mountain biking, white-water rafting on the Ziller, and paragliding are popular summer activities. AlpRoads provides summer transfers for hikers and outdoor travellers as well as ski groups.

Best Time to Visit Mayrhofen

For skiing

December through April, with peak conditions in January and February. Mayrhofen's lower altitude (630m village) means snow cover in the village itself can be variable in early December and late March, but the ski area above 1,600 metres is generally excellent throughout the season. For guaranteed snow, combine with a Hintertux glacier day trip.

Peak season

For year-round skiing

Hintertux glacier operates every month of the year, making a Zillertal transfer worthwhile regardless of season.

For hiking and summer activities

June through September, with July and August being the warmest months and the high alpine routes fully open.

FAQ

Which airport is best for transfers to Mayrhofen?
  • Innsbruck Airport (INN) is the closest airport to Mayrhofen, at approximately 65 kilometres – about 50 minutes by private transfer. The route is straightforward: south-east on the A12 motorway to Jenbach, then into the Zillertal. It is the fastest and most convenient option for travellers who can access direct flights to Innsbruck.
  • Munich Airport (MUC) is the most practical option for most international travellers, particularly those flying from the UK, Ireland, or North America. At 195.5 kilometres, the journey takes approximately 2 hours 20 minutes on motorway. Munich’s far greater range of direct international flights makes it the default choice for many AlpRoads clients.
  • Salzburg Airport (SZG) is approximately 130 kilometres from Mayrhofen – around 1 hour 45 minutes by road. It is a good option for travellers flying with Ryanair or other carriers serving Salzburg, and the drive through the Salzach valley and across into Tyrol is scenic.
How far is Innsbruck Airport from Mayrhofen?

Innsbruck Airport to Mayrhofen is approximately **65 kilometres** and takes around **50 minutes** by private transfer in normal conditions. The route is almost entirely motorway (A12) to the Zillertal junction, then a short valley road to Mayrhofen. It is one of the most straightforward airport-to-resort transfers in Tyrol.

Can I do a day trip to Hintertux glacier from Mayrhofen?

Yes, and it is highly recommended. Hintertux is 20 kilometres up the Zillertal from Mayrhofen and is accessible by the free Zillertaler ski bus, which runs regularly in winter. The glacier offers some of the most reliable snow in the Alps and provides a different character of skiing to Mayrhofen’s Penken mountain. If you are staying in Mayrhofen for a week, a day at Hintertux is an excellent way to vary the experience, particularly later in the season when lower runs can become heavy.

For guests arriving very early or departing very late – or for those who want complete flexibility – AlpRoads can arrange a direct transfer from the airport to Hintertux itself on request.

Are summer transfers to Mayrhofen available?

Yes. AlpRoads operates year-round. Summer transfers to Mayrhofen are available for hikers, cyclists, and anyone visiting the Zillertal outside the ski season. The service is identical to winter: private vehicle, fixed price, door-to-door, and available 24/7. If you are visiting for the Hintertux glacier in summer, for walking holidays, or for any other purpose, book exactly as you would for a ski transfer.
