Intermediate skiers have a huge amount to go at in Mayrhofen and the Zillertal 3000 ski region. But for a look (and of course the White Lounge) then the Ahorn side of the valley has very little for better intermediates. Lesser intermediate skiers may well want to find their feet on the blue pistes of the Ahorn and the downhill piste back to the resort but for more adventurous intermediates then the Penken area is the one to head for. The Penken area offers excellent and extensive ski terrain for the intermediate skier with runs out to the Eggalm part of the Zillertal 3000 ski region the really highlight. The pistes wind south over toward the soaring Hintertux Glacier all at a good altitude ensuring the best of the snow conditions and intermediate skiers can cover a good distance heading out over to the Eggalm area and back. The Hintertux Glacier offers further intermediate terrain and can be reached by a short bus transfer from beneath the Eggalm ski area. The Hintertux Glacier is one of the steeper glacier skiing areas in Austria with more challenging gradients than many other glaciers. It offers a good range of options for the better intermediates and given the skiing takes place up to 3250m then the snow conditions can be outstanding.
