Overview

Hotel Obermair is a traditional, no-frills hotel on the edge of Mayrhofen that has grown from a simple guesthouse into a popular and good-value ski base. Despite various additions over the years, including an annexe, indoor pool and wellness facilities, it has retained its classic Austrian character with plenty of wood panelling and alpine charm.

Accommodation is split between the main building and the annexe. Most rooms are located in the annexe and have a more dated style, reflected in the lower price point, while rooms in the main building offer a more traditional alpine design and a slightly more polished feel.

The wellness area is centred around a heated indoor pool that’s ideal for both morning swims and post-ski relaxation. Guests can also make use of a Finnish sauna, herbal sauna, steam bath and rain showers after a day on the slopes in the Zillertal ski area.

Breakfast is served buffet-style each morning, with fresh rolls, meats, cheeses, fruit and cereals providing a hearty start to the day. Evenings are left free, allowing guests to take advantage of Mayrhofen’s excellent selection of restaurants and bars.

The location strikes a good balance between convenience and quiet surroundings. Restaurants and bars are just a few minutes away, the Penken gondola can be reached in around 12 minutes on foot, and the ski bus stops right outside. Bus and train stations are also nearby, making it easy to explore other parts of the Ziller Valley.

About Mayrhofen

Mayrhofen skiing and boarding

Mayrhofen is the largest of the resorts covered by the 'Zillertal Superski' pass, with 101km of runs locally, and 227km when you include the Hintertux Glacier. There are two distinct ski areas connected to the town itself. The Ahorn mountain is the smaller of the two and caters very well to beginners and early intermediates, the perfect place to learn and improve in your own space. The resort has invested tens of millions in the infrastructure recently, including the replacement of the Pekenbahn. This has meant access to the extensive Penken slopes is quicker and much more comfortable. No more long queues firts thing in the morning! Skiing on the Penken has something for everyone, including Harakiri, Austria's steepest piste!

Further afield, you can travel along the valley to Hintertux and experience the glacier skiing, incuded on the area lift pass. With a year round snow guarantee, this tops off Mayrhofen as one of Austria's top 5 ski destinations.

Mayrhofen ski resort

As a fully fledged town, rather than a seasonal resort, Mayrhofen is large, vibrant and has the kind of extensive facilities that some smaller Austrian destinations can't match. A huge public leisure centre and excellent sports facilities, as well as a cahrming pedestrianised town centre with extensive shopping, eating and drinking options. All combined with excellent transport links and a Tirolean atmosphere that's hard to beat in winter! You're only an hour from Innsbruck which not only makes for a hassle free transfer, but also opens up day trip possibilities - direct trains depart from the station every hour at peak times.

It's easy to see why Mayrhofen is so highly rated, and attracts so many visitors year after year. A must-do for any serious skier.
