Mayrhofen is legendary in snowboarding circles – it has one of the most famous terrain parks in the world – the Vans Penken Park and is the ‘birthplace’ of the Ästhetiker crew, a visionary group of snowboarding friends who came together and made a huge mark on the snowboard scene from this corner of the Zillertal Valley. As well as these recognised highlights, the Mayrhofen area and the Zillertal 3000 reion offer a huge amount for snowboarders. The Better Park on the Hintertux Glacier offers year-round park action whilst the off-piste in the Penken area is a dream for snowboarders with steep off-piste on North facing, snow laden routes. Marketing managers in resorts worldwide extol the virtues of their area for snowboarders – the truth is many resorts are the same – Mayrhofen though is must visit area for all snowboarders.
