Mayrhofen is a town in the Zillertal area of Austria and is one of the most famous skiing venues, thanks mainly to the fact that it has become the permanent venue of the annual Snowbombing music festival in April. Mayrhofen is beneath the Hintertux glacier, which at over ten thousand feet above sea level is way above the snow line, so skiing is available here year round. Before booking your Mayrhofen aparthotel for summer skiing though, you should know that some of the runs on the Hintertux are very dangerous and are for real experts only. One is called Harakiri, which should give you a clue as to its difficulty.

This shouldn’t be a problem though in booking a Mayrhofen holiday rental for summer. Unlike some other ski resorts, Mayrhofen has plenty to offer the summer visitor with literally hundreds of walks from the town, both on the mountain for experienced walkers or along the relatively flat river valley for those who are not quite so fit. Using your Mayrhofen serviced residence as a centre for striking out into the spectacular countryside surrounding the town is an excellent idea as it is not necessary to use public transport to get to the start of many of the walks.

If you are in your Mayrhofen holiday apartment in April you will be able to enjoy the Snowbombing event. This music on the piste has become quite famous and is one of the more quirky festival venues in the world. Many famous bands and DJs have appeared, for example Madness, Dizzee Rascal and Fatboy Slim. The organisers are proud to say that there are only five hours in every twenty four with no music, so be sure you want to be part of all that before you book your Mayrhofen serviced or self-catered apartment – it’s crazy!

As one of the country’s premier ski resorts, Mayrhofen has some spectacles up its sleeve, including a ski lift with gondolas that can carry 160 people at a time. If the weather gets very cold – and at this elevation it can get very cold indeed – these huge pods are pressed into service as floating cafes and make for a very unusual lunch venue. A trip up the mountain from your Mayrhofen short term apartment in one of these is not just a way of getting to the top; it is an event in itself.
