Mayrhofen Ski Area ski information
The beautiful Ziller Valley is home to a number of ski areas totalling 625km of piste, all on one lift pass! Just beyond the end of the valley you have the Hintertux Glacier with 86km of piste. In the Ziller Valley itself the main ski areas are Hochzillertal/Hochfügen with 155km of piste, Zell am Ziller/Gerlos with 160km of piste and Mayrhofen/Finkenberg with 157km of piste. As well as the resorts of Mayrhofen, Finkenberg and Zell am Ziller, we also offer accommodation in other villages within the Mayhofen/Ziller Valley ski areas. Currently we have accommodation in the small village of Ramsau, 10km from Mayrhofen. A single chairlift links the village to the Gerlosstein ski area and a 10 minutes ski bus ride takes you to the Mayrhofen ski area. The Mayrhofen Area lift pass which covers all the ski areas in the Ziller Valley can be pre-booked and equipment hire and tuition should be booked on arrival. Look out for special offers as well - we regularly offer "allocation on arrival" Mayrhofen Ski Area special offers, with which you will be guaranteed accommodation in Mayrhofen or one of the villages on the Mayrhofen lift pass within the Ziller Valley, such as Hollenzen.
