mayrhofner-bergbahnen.com : Skiing Swnoaboarding Mayrhofner Bergbahnen

For winter sports enthusiasts the day starts on our Penken Action Mountain – tackling Austria’s steepest ski run, the Harakiri run, under the morning sun and hit some massive kickers in our paradise for freestylers, the Vans Penken Park. Join other snow enthusiasts in the afternoon for a cruise down the wide slopes of our Ahorn Leisure Mountain before finishing off your unforgettable day watching the sunset from the White Lounge, Mayrhofner Bergbahnen’s Igloo Bar. Relax and chill out while having a drink – and do not forget to book your exclusive overnight stay at one of ten artistically designed Igloo Suites. Our famous holiday resort in the Zillertal offers everything that could make your winter day perfect.

Shoot down the Harakiri Run to limber up in the morning: Austria’s steepest slope with an average incline of 78% can only be groomed with special snow machines suspended from the end of a winch. It is a real challenge for every alpine athlete. ‘Harakiri Survivor’ shirts are available at the shop next to the Ahorn cable car. Things go down with style in our Vans Penken Park. The sheer variety of rails, kickers, funboxes, frames and further more demanding obstacles make the park the largest of its type in the 2007/08 winter season – and probably the most fun one. Beginners, experts and professionals can find what they’ve been looking for. Three different lines and different difficulty levels provide a perfect playground for you to celebrate modern freestyle. Especially the Pro Line attracts the elite of the international snowboarding and freeskiing scene. While freestylers dream of the next Olympic halfpipe medal, others hang out in our Chill Area to admire creative finesse of the courageous riders. www.vans-penken-park.com

Between 10.00 am and 04.30 pm, our White Lounge invites its guests for some cool drinks, deck chairs and lounge music to kick back and relax. The igloo village’s sumptuously sculpted igloos host many entertaining parties but also provide exclusive overnight accommodations, including a dining igloo, breakfast and sauna area.
