Based on the resort's altitude and historical snow reliability
Mayrhofen offers 142 km of well-marked runs — a mid-sized ski area, ideal for spending 4 to 5 days without ever doing exactly the same thing twice. The 61 lifts are generally sufficient to handle the crowds in high season. Technical terrain reigns at Mayrhofen: with 23 black and 46 red runs on offer, confirmed skiers will find plenty to challenge them. Off-piste and freeride are practised there in often excellent conditions, thanks to the altitude and the exposure of the slopes. With a summit at 2,500 m and a village at 630 m, Mayrhofen's snow reliability is generally good from January to the end of March. A few exceptionally mild winters can cause tension early in the season, but the situation quickly recovers with the first serious snowfalls. The budget for a stay in Mayrhofen is clearly high: 82€ for a day lift pass, on top of which come accommodation and mountain restaurants among the most expensive in the Alps. It's the price of excellence — but you need to be aware of it before you set off. In short: Mayrhofen lives up to its promises. A Northern Alps resort that should suit most skier profiles without disappointing.
