Mayrhofen
Austria
Set between two different mountains, Mayrhofen’s local pistes are an intermediate’s playground, where you can clock up the kilometres cruising lots of linked reds and blues. And to really make the most of your lift pass, jump on the ski bus for high-altitude skiing on the nearby Hintertux glacier.
Off the mountain, Mayrhofen mixes authentic Austrian looks with a lively atmosphere. Timber chalets and frescoed buildings line the main street, with an onion-domed church at one end. Après action starts on the mountain, where slopeside bars fill up from mid-afternoon. Then after the sun sets, spend the night hopping between pubs and dancing in clubs. Or for a more leisurely evening, pop into a traditional hotel bar for a quiet drink and a catch-up. Speaking of hotels, there are heaps to choose from here, whether you’re after a bit of luxury or a no-frills guesthouse.
When you’re not up the mountain or kicking back in a bar, admire the snow-covered scenery from a horse-drawn sleigh. Or to get a bird’s eye view of the mountains, take to the skies with a professional pilot on a tandem paragliding flight.
