Thank you for doing this video, your videos really helped us in choosing where to go this year, Mayrhofen! One contender which has barely any reviews online is that of the Sauze D'oulx region.
Went here in 1981. Sunniest ski holiday I ever had, with great skiing each day. Returned 2 years later. Must go again - great high street and Pub back then.
It's the only ski Holiday I have ever had and it was 34 years ago on my 40th birthday that I was there. I remember it was in March I was there and I had a fantastic time. I thought it was a magic place
Had our fifth trip to Mayrhofen in January 2020. Mayrhofen offers relatively good value for money and great skiing with most pistes above 1500m. Recommend staying near to train station so you can also ski the other Ziller Valley resorts including Zell am Ziller, Kaltenbach and Hintertux.
I stayed in Mayrhofen in 2013. I had purchased a train pass to get there but ran into a friendly woman who offered to drive me. I had no idea there were such friendly open people. I believe I stayed at Pension Martha. Friendly people there too!
when we were at Mayrhofen we did drunk toboggan riding at night, it was a realy fun experiance! and also we were rocking it pretty hard in scottie after leaving the ice bar at night, so not so calm!
7 times there since 2008. There is no US resort area that comes close. Easy to get to, skiing is cheap for Americans, food and drink are very cheap, for Americans. Lodging is about average. In the many apartments around town, about 100 Euro per person per night seemed pretty common. Excellent bus service.
I was about to, got as far as the lift up. But then I saw a skier coming down on his face, with all he stuff going everywhere... So I thought naaaaaaaaaaah. 😳🙈.
Stayed in the Straus Hotel next to the Penkenbahn lift - never had to queue too long for the gondola. Was up on the slopes in 10 mins every day. Rented a locker at the top of the Penken lift which was great. Lots of runs and different options to suit all levels. Very nice town and lots of hotels to suit all budgets. Separation of town to ski area was not an issue for me as lift is so good. Well worth a visit.
@@l.s.3066 Norman is right, its 78% of 45 degrees. 78 degree would be like falling down a cliff. It's on the page linked, "around 38 degrees". www.thebmc.co.uk/europes-5-hardest-ski-black-runs
Thank you for the tip! The review was focused on Mayrhofen so we didn't get into the other apres ski bars in the Zillertal, but we will definitely check it out next time we will be in the area.
Surprised you recommend Hintertux when weather is bad !! Conditons on top of Hintertux in bad weather can be ferocious and sometimes the upper lift to top is closed. The winds can very strong and I have been there with temperatures as low as -20 !! I spent most of one day in the Sommerberg restaurant want for weather to break and lift to run, but it didnt. Worth mentioning also that the main first descent from the top of Hintertux is a a steep red which can be very icy when the wind blows the snow cover off the glacier below. It can of course be gloriously sunny up there and I have skied there as early as first week of October so for anyone looking for a few days skiing in autumn, or early summer then it is worth a visit. In Winter, skiers can ski from Maryhofen across and down into Lanersbach and then catch the Mayrhoffen Bus up to Hintertux. This reduces the bus time to Hintertux by more than half and with good snow you can ski right down to Lanersbach village or to Tux.
hi amblincork, The times we recommend to go to Hintertux is when there are sometimes low clouds, fogy, or rains, and in Hintertux you can ski above the clouds. other times are in the end of season in warm days. I agree that because of the high altitude etc' the weather there can be harsh many times.
@@SkiResortsVideo But when there are low clouds in Mayrhofen, when you get to the top of the Ahorn or Penken, you will also be above the clouds. You are offering not the best of information sometimes. I was a ski instructor in Mayrhofen from 1969 to the very late 70s and lived there for many years, so know like a local.
hi Jonny, there is a point in your comment, and maybe in the end of February it's better in Mayrhofen, but in most of the rest of the season it is better in Val Thorens. in respective we wouldn't give a 10 to Val Thorens, but the fact that all january and march it is good there in that respect, and most of December and April is significant/ the video of mayrhofen was filmed in the end of February while the one of val thorens in mid April. the score is based on years of observation of the 2 resorts along whole seasons. if you will come to Val thorens in January you won't believe how good is the apres ski there

Going there in 2.5 weeks from now, very excited May I ask, what do you mean no skiing back to town? How do you get back to Mayrhofen then? In Bansko for example you can ski all the way down to the main entrance
You'll need to take the Penken lift back. There's a black that runs from Ahorn down to village level but it's a trek (or a bus) back to town. In poor snow the black is a PITA... probably literally!
I’m booked for Mayrhofen 30th January 2021, it’s now New Year’s Eve......I don’t think I’ll get to visit the way the world is at the moment. We get told on the 20th of January if we still have our holiday, I’m really doubting it now
@@SkiResortsVideo hello, this is a very late reply! No we never got to go unfortunately, we got all of our money back and are currently booked for Canada mid January 2022
@@SkiResortsVideo Couple of friend's recommended those resorts and i can't find any good videos online for them. I've been subrscribed to the channel for some time and i know that you would make a great review
Close your eyes and think of your country :)) that was good, very good :) everyone can take the Harakiri, skis, boards or your bottoms, you will get down for sure, haha
If you’re going to ski harikiri do not close eyes or you will wake up in the hospital. Don’t miss the White Lounge at Ahorn, a giant outdoor igloo bar.
@@actiontrax7434 As has been pointed out several times in the comments, 78 degrees was a mistake in the video. It is 78% (which is atan(0.78)=0.662rad=38 degrees)
Well, with that said, you really don't have to worry about the snow in a good winter at Mayrhofen anyway. Plus, when there is poor snow in the village of other resort that allow you ski all the way to them, they would have no snow either, therefore, are no different to Mayrhofen. Just take the cable car down at the end of the day's skiing and enjoy the great runs and snow on top of the mountain. You are being far too critical about almost nothing.
They are great resorts but FAR MORE EXPENSIVE than anything in the Zillertal plus take far longer to get to. They are great resorts but overrated. I know them well, I was a ski instructor in Mayrhofen for many years and have skied just about all the resorts in Austria, so I speak from experience, not from what is printed in guidebooks or resort pamphlets. For probably 90% of the people, the skiing offered in Mayrhofen and the Zillertal will more than satisfy ever need. So, save a ton of money and transfer time from an airport and don't go to St. Anton or Lech or Zurs.
You guys really need to learn how to correctly pronounce many of the words you used in this video. You also need to know more about what you are speaking of. It is not "The Hintertux", the village and mountain is called Hintertux. It would be like say "The Mayrhofen". Not too bad of a video but it needs a lot of work to make it good. I lived in Mayrhofen for more than ten years and was a ski instructor right through the 70s, so of course, know it like the back of my hand.
It is a frame from the video. I admit that once I tried to experiment and change something in my thumbnails. most of the thumbnails I see in channels are more altered. do you comment negatively on all of these thumbnails they used images, not from the video? we work hard to give to the community of skiers and don't ask for anything. If you will look at my other thumbnails, all of them are frames from the video. none altered. I consider any thumbnail that emphasizes topics in the video, legit.❤

Oh wow you are so hardcore
I'll be there in march, staying at Finkenberg. So to get to Kaltenbach it might be a longer transit: bus to Mayrhofen + train to Kaltenbach
Yes, but don’t miss Kaltenbach.
Kaltenbach has some great skiing and is only about 20 mins or so from Finkenburg.

My pleasure! Mulling over another trip next year.
Looks like an amazing place, hopefully, I can get to ski here one day :).
GREAT VIDEO!!! Thank you!
Been there, great place! Try Harakiri, after some snowfall, otherwise it's very icy 😉
I was about to, got as far as the lift up. But then I saw a skier coming down on his face, with all he stuff going everywhere... So I thought naaaaaaaaaaah. 😳🙈.
yes and sometimes it is not open at all.

Me too 😔
@@janeeden919 Sad stories 😭
Include Ramsau, Zell am Ziller, Kaltenbach, Fugen, Gerlos, are great places to ski in the Ziller valley.
At 5:07, it is 78% NOT 78 degree. i.e. 78% of 45 degree.
haha, I thought that was bloody steep
@@l.s.3066 Norman is right, its 78% of 45 degrees. 78 degree would be like falling down a cliff. It's on the page linked, "around 38 degrees". www.thebmc.co.uk/europes-5-hardest-ski-black-runs
You are right, that it is 78%, but it is equal to around 38 degrees.
But still blody dam steep
@@yorbenvannoten2374 ,yes it is.
The Harakiri runs up to 78%, not degrees. A 78 degree slope is effectively a cliff drop
that's what i thought. Sounded not right
Can you also review ischgl or Saalbach Hinterglemm
we reviewd both:

Not sure how Val Thorens gets a 10 for apres ski, but Mayrhofen gets 8.5. Those scores need swapping around.

Val Thorens has nothing to do with après-ski at all. Music is shitty and the beer is way too expensive. Almost 7€/beer is just absolutely nuts.
@@SkiResortsVideo honestly you can't really call Val Thorens aprés-ski

It's not 78 DEGREES!! that's 78% Grade. Equivalent to 38 degrees. Still steep. But they're are steeper in Europe.
Thanks I was confused
Ya boy
What is red line ?
A bus
zillertalbahn is free with a skipass
Can u do morzine
we will take it into consideration, James. many people asked for it
78 degrees? Haha. I dont think this guy knows geometry. That is basically a vertical wall. Your skis lose edge at plus 60 degrees
It’s an extremely steep slope I don’t think it’s that steep but that’s what they advertise it at
He made a mistake. It is 78 percent and not 78 degrees.
If you’ve been there you’d know that it pretty much is vertical a points

@@berndf0 yes I know that and that is the average gradient of the run so as I said it is near vertical in places

At Anton was overrated IMO 😶. As a snowboarder, Lech was much better for me.

its mayrhofen, not mayrhofn
No it is not. The correct spelling is Mayrhofen.
5:06 for fuck sake bro its 78% incline which equals 38 measured in degrees which is a massive difference
