The Garni Almhof is a great base to explore the Zillertal and Mayrhofen's incredible slopes. The accommodation is basic but has everything you need for a comfy stay and a generous breakfast to set you up for a day on the slopes.

Quiet sunny location

Garni Almhof benefits from a quiet location on the outskirts of Mayrhofen. You are the perfect distance from town so you can enjoy the resort's famous après and still get a great night's sleep.

The ski bus stop is just opposite the hotel so you can easily make your way to the Penkenbahn or Ahornbahn in the morning. 

Sauna & steam room

The hotel has a small wellness area which is perfect for relaxing after a day on the mountain. The wellness area has a sauna, steam room and relaxation room and is payable locally €10 per visit and for ages 15+.

Bed and breakfast

The Garni Almhof is offered on bed and breakfast basis. Fill up for the day with the hot and cold buffet with a selection of meats and cheeses, cereals and yoghurts.

The start of Mayrhofen's main high street is an eight minute walk away where you will have plenty of dinner options to choose from.

On the famous Zillertal ski area – you’ll have 548km of pistes. Be sure to explore Hintertux glacier – you can’t get enough of the powder skiing and sweeping views. You’re above the clouds here meaning you’ll avoid any of the poor weather further down the mountain.  

Mayrhofen is a heavyweight resort for skiers, boarders and freestylers. If you’re a freestyler you won’t want to miss a chance to practice your tricks one of Europe’s largest snow parks – Penken park. You’ll find it on the sunny side of the Hornberg mountain – split into six separate areas, it even has its own chairlift.

Bars and restaurants in Mayrhofen

Before heading down the mountain why not enjoy a drink inside the igloo village – all ages love it here. On your way down you won’t be able to resist a stop off at the lively Pilzbar – you’ll hear the party a mile off.

Once your back in town the fun continues - whether it’s a relaxed cocktail, friendly pub or wild party Mayrhofen has you covered. The night usually begins in the ice bar and ends in the early hours at Brück'n Stadl. You’ll quickly find out why Austrian après ski is famous. If you can’t hold out until dinner we recommend Gasser deli – serving traditional meats, it is the perfect pit stop before après ski.
