Overview
Small in size but big on charm, the Eckartauerhof has a chocolate-box look, with wraparound balconies and plenty of carved wood. And the setting's got that snug, alpine getaway feel too, from the views of the snowy Ziller valley out front to the pine-covered mountainsides behind.
Food is another highlight here, starting with a breakfast buffet that’s chock-full of local faves – think baskets of bread and platters of meat and cheese. Then to round off the day, the kitchen goes all out serving up 5-course evening meals. With lots of stews, dumplings and filling soups, it’ll hit the spot for hungry skiers, and you’ll get a choice of main course too.
As for the location, you’ll be staying outside the resort centre, so it’ll fit the bill if you prefer peaceful surroundings. Then when it’s time to head up the mountain, just hop on the free ski bus that stops outside to get to the Hornbergbahn gondola in around 5 minutes.

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.
