Snowsports Festivals in Europe

Skiing in Mayrhofen

As one of Europe’s most popular skiing destinations, it should come as no surprise that Mayrhofen is now the permanent home of Snowbombing. The ski resort is widely regarded as one of the best in Europe for both skiing and snowboarding with 605km of pistes for snow sport lovers to choose from and the steepest slope in Europe – for those brave enough to conquer it! For those after something less daring, Mayrhofen also has around 20km of cross-country skiing routes, access to the Hintertux Glacier, and the Vans PenkenSnowpark which promises plenty of obstacles and jumps! Beginners have nothing to fear though as Mayrhofen caters to them too. Leisure Mount Ahorn promises the perfect skiing setting for families with young children and novice skiers. But don’t mistake this for an easy ride! Leisure Mount Ahorn still provides a challenge, with a 5.5km downhill valley run for skiers and boarders to tackle. It is a challenge that is worth rising too though as skiers will also find The White Lounge here; a stunning igloo bar and hotel with a chill-out area for guests to enjoy.
