A ski resort's overall star rating displayed here is not calculated based on a simple average but takes several factors, including the age of a review, into account.
Had a lovely week here at the start of January. A lovely village, very charming and a variety of eating out options. The lift system is generally modern and fast. The cable car up to the resort takes a lot of people per cabin, and is quick, so you’re not waiting long.
The Ahorn area is small, with shorter runs. It is a mellow area, and good for starting with if with beginners. It doesn’t have much to entertain for too long, though.
The Penken area is at the top of the main cable car up from the village, and opens up the rest of the areas. The blues up here tend to be quite narrow and get busy and mounded up quite quickly. The reds are generally fairly mellow for reds.
In the next valley, at the top of the Horbergbahn lift there are a reasonable mix of nice blues and reds, plus a terrain park. From this valley, you can take the 150erTux lift, which allows you to access the area at the top of the Rastkogelbahn lift. This area is lovely, with wide and mellow blues and reds. Getting back to Penken from here either involves doing the reds down the side of 150erTux, which are quite steep, or downloading on the lift, then back up via the chairlifts in this valley (a few options).
You can access the Egglam area via buses or continuing on over from the Rastkogel area. There are some moderate blues and reds here.
The bus to the Hintertux glacier takes around 45 minutes. There is a nice mix of blues and reds over there, but it was considerably colder (as expected).
There is an excellent bus network connecting the areas along the valley floor.

I went skiing for the first time last year and went to Mayrhofen. I enjoyed it so much that I went to France 6 weeks later and then back to Mayrhofen again at the end of the season. It is such a beautiful village - and so is the Ziller valley. The gondola up to the Penken was fast and I never had to wait too long and I was there just after Christmas. The runs are all well groomed and there is a nice bit of variety - tree lined runs and more open wide ones. Every hut that I pulled into was so cosy and served delicious food. It was such a peaceful and friendly place.
My only regret was getting lessons which were a waste imo - too much talking and hanging around and long lunch breaks. I did more runs from 8.30 - 10.00 before the lesson started on my own than I did all day in the group. If I was starting again I would just get a 1-1 lesson. The night life is very good too - you have the big apres scene as well as the quieter more intimate places for food and drink. The town has a large Spar supermarket as well as many other shops. There is also a public pool and spa if you are not in a hotel with these facilities. There is an ice rink too.
I am looking forward to going back in December and I have a second holiday booked for February too. I am looking forward to exploring the other resorts in the valley this time as they are part of the Zillertal Super Ski Pass. Go - you won't regret it

Access to multiple ski resorts by train/bus giving huge area to ski. Lifts very good and great snow conditions (thanks in part to lots of snow cannons). Lots of challenging reds and blacks but enough blues for beginners. Restaurants were, generally, very good and reasonably priced as was the beer.

Been here 5 times, friendly resort, good ski schools. non skiers have lots to do.
Take the train to Zell or Gerlos for a day out
Great for families, improvers in fact everyone.

The super ski pass gives you free travel on the little red train taking you to many other resorts all on the same pass(Zell, kaltenbach, gerlos,etc) or free bus up to the Hintertux glacier resort. Unbeatable variety and value and almost used solely by ski/boarders so you cannot get lost just follow the crowd on disembarking. With the uk ski club we stay in Maryh’ but ski in the other resorts at no extra cost.

Just an amazing resort. I've been going back reguarly for nearly 20 years.

Excellent resort. Wide variety of slopes means it caters well for anybody confident enough to navigate what are mostly red and black runs
