In an idyllic location close to the centre of Mayrhofen and right next to the new Ahornbahn cable car, you will find the charming family hotel Perauer. Everything about this inn from the early 1970s exudes authenticity: from the rustic building with wooden balconies in Tyrolean style to the cosy Stube and sustainable restaurant. Franz and Barbara are second-generation owners and give each guest a warm welcome in traditional costume.
The 24 rooms of this cosy guesthouse were renovated entirely last summer. Still, the original atmosphere has been preserved: the rooms have been lovingly furnished in a country style. Comfort is paramount at Gasthof Perauer, which you notice in the 'wellness' mattresses with crisp white sheets and thick duvets. You can unabashedly plop down after a day of skiing.
After all that exercise in the open air, apricot jenever distilled by the family tastes extra good. And stiff muscles can be warmed up in the spa with an infrared cabin, steam bath, sauna and relaxation room with a hammock. Gasthof Perauer's restaurant has been highly regarded for decades, including among locals. This is mainly due to the own butcher's shop with meat from the Zillertal. But organic ingredients from local farmers are also processed by chef Mike into simple Tyrolean dishes and international classics. And then there's The Butcher Bar. A modern and cosy hotspot where guests and locals meet and where you can enjoy schnapps and dry-aged beef.
Every morning, an extensive breakfast buffet will be served.
In addition, each guest (from 16 years old) can collect a 12 EUR voucher per person, per day to spend on meals (no drinks). You must collect this voucher yourself every day. You can then use it towards lunch, a snack, or dinner in the restaurant.
Skiing in Mayrhofen, the thumping heart of the Zillertal, is not to be missed. Consisting of a collection of small alpine villages that have gradually grown into one another, the ski area is one of the most popular in Europe. There are ski areas that you can visit a few times you’ve seen it all, but with Mayrhofen ski holidays the different runs for both novice and advanced skiers mean you will always find something new and exciting.
When skiing in Mayrhofen, the Ahornbahn cable car brings you from the village to an altitude of around 2000m in only six minutes. For those looking for a luxury Mayrhofen ski holiday, you can choose to take the very modern Penkenbahn with panoramic views and built-in WiFi to the Ski Zillertal 3000 ski area which consists of over 225km of exciting pistes.
The Vans Penken Park is a paradise for freestylers; Harakiri, the steepest run in Austria, will give even the most experienced skier the chills; and on the Hintertux Glacier snow is guaranteed even in early spring; all this makes skiing in Mayrhofen a must for all winter sport enthusiasts. If all this still isn’t enough for you, you can always upgrade your lift pass to the entire Zillertal Ski Region, letting you explore the slopes of Kaltenbach, Fügen and Gerlos.
A ski holiday in Mayrhofen isn’t just about the slopes. As the sun sets behind the mountains, the streets fill with people on their way to the cafes, shops and booming nightclubs. You can swim, go to the cinema, hike, play tennis, ice skate – there is literally something for everyone when skiing in Mayrhofen.
Every year in April the acclaimed musical festival Snowboming takes place in Mayrhofen. At the end of the season partygoers flock to the ski area to enjoy the snow, the music, live gigs and the street parade. Mayrhofen forgets skiing and transforms into one big party both on and off the pistes. Please take into account that you need a special Snowbombing wristband in order to join the festivities. You can purchase these wristbands on location at the designated selling points.

Ski holidays in Ski Zillertal 3000 are possible as this unique region has been created thanks to the lift connection between Mayrhofen and Tux further up the valley. A 150-person cable-car links the two areas of Horberg/Gerent/Penken and Rastkogel/Eggalm.
Skiing in Ski Zillertal 3000 is made easier due to the excellent transport links to take you across the vast region. The resorts of Penken and Horberg are connected with each other by a small ski train and these areas are connected to the Tux ski resort by a cable car making travelling from area to area stress-free. The Hintertuxer glacier, with its almost always snow covered pistes, together with the even expanding arsenal of snow cannons provides the resort with an excellent snow record.
Between the resort stations of the ski lifts in Mayrhofen, Hippach and Finkenberg ski buses ride back and forth and can be used for free if you have a lift pass. When skiing in Ski Zillertal 3000, with your Zillertal lift pass you can also ski in Gerlos, Fügen and on the glacier.
