Ski area Mountopolis - Mayrhofen/Hippach
With the Penken and Ahorn mountains, Mayrhofen offers 142 kilometres of piste fun, 8.7 kilometres of ski routes and almost everything a sports enthusiast could desire: challenging black runs on the Penken – the famous "Harakiri" impresses even the pros with its 78 per cent gradient – as well as wonderfully wide slopes for beginners and carvers on the Ahorn. The spectacular Penken Park is considered an international meeting place for all freestylers.
The circular routes suggested by the lifts are perfect for exploring the ski mountains around Mayrhofen. Experienced skiers can choose the HöhenmeterFresserRunde (altitude gain route), which covers a total of 13,000 metres of altitude. Another option is the Fun + Action route, which takes you not only to Harakiri, but also to the popular PenkenPark and the ski area's race tracks. The Penken beginner circuit and the Ahorn family circuit are more suitable for leisure skiers and families. Apart from the challenging valley run, the Ahorn, with its wide, sunny slopes, is considered the perfect terrain for leisure carvers, beginners and families.
The entire ski area is connected by 45 lifts and 16 magic carpets, including Austria's largest gondola, the Ahornbahn. On the Penken combined lift, you can even choose whether you prefer to sit in the gondola or on the chairlift. Numerous snow cannons also ensure 100% snow coverage in the ski area.
Another special highlight is the Hintertux Glacier in the "Zillertaler Superskipass" lift pass network: due to its size and challenging slopes, it is one of the best glaciers in the Alps. At an altitude of 1,500 to 3,250 metres, Austria's only year-round ski area offers 64 kilometres of groomed slopes, 20 modern lifts and, as a highlight, a twelve-kilometre-long valley run.
Après ski Mountopolis - Mayrhofen/Hippach
The Ahorn also offers a wide range of leisure activities for non-skiers. How about a winter hike in the unspoilt, wintry nature on the Penken and Ahorn? Numerous winter hiking trails such as the "WinterWanderWeg Penken", the "BergWaldWeg" or the "WinterWanderWeg Filzenkogel" provide moments of pleasure and impressive views of the surrounding mountains. A new highlight is the "AlbertAdler ErlebnisWeg", which leads to the "AdlerBühne Ahorn". The highest bird of prey station in Europe will delight you with majestic animals that can be marvelled at up close.
The "PistenBock tobogganing fun" stands for fast-paced descents for young and old. Those interested can take a look behind the scenes of the ski area's daily operations on a snowcat ride or a cable car tour at the Ahornbahn.
For those who prefer a more leisurely pace, you can meet nice people in one of the café bars or sample regional specialities in one of the numerous restaurants. As an exciting alternative, there are horse-drawn carriage rides through the Mayrhofen-Hippach holiday region or ice skating on the ice skating rink. For the more adventurous, we recommend various ice waterfalls for ice climbing or paragliding, even in winter. In a safe tandem flight, you can get a taste of high-altitude air with fascinating views.
Snowpark Mountopolis - Mayrhofen/Hippach: PenkenPark
A very special highlight awaits fans of fun sports and creativity in Mayrhofen: the "PenkenPark", one of the best snow parks in Europe! Six perfectly shaped lines and a fantastic crowd have given the park a reputation that it lives up to. Pro Area, Advanced Area, Advanced Jib Area, Medium Area, Medium Jib Area and Kids Area promise a great time on the mountain for all skill levels.
The entrance to the park is located at an altitude of 1,800 metres between the 2,000-metre Rastkogel and Horberg peaks. The park also has its own 4-seater chair lift, the "Sunjet", and runs directly above the Pro Line, so you can marvel at the pros from above. Special events and contests take place here regularly.
The FunRide Ahorn with the FamilyPark, the Albert Adler Tour, the FunRide Sun-Jet and the FunRide Gerent with many child-friendly obstacles, waves, steep turns and snails also offer variety.
