Mayrhofen Facilities

There is plenty to do in Mayrhofen, both on and off the slopes. The Vans Penken Park caters for thrill-seekers on skis and boards looking for kickers, hips, boxes and rails to master. There are a number of toboggan runs available, as well as an outdoor ice rink and ice climbing facilities. For those preferring to stay warm, there is an impressive indoor pool with a 101m giant slide and 65m crazy river slide. Otherwise, the fitness centre, with spa and sauna, or the cinema might appeal. There is a wide range of restaurants and bars, with plenty of apres-ski fun to be had at venues such as the Sports Lounge or Harakiri Bar, named after Austria's steepest piste on Penken.
