Sunshine Skiing in Zillertal

The ski season in Mountopolis – the Mayrhofner Bergbahnen World of Adventure runs until mid-April. Thanks to the altitude of Mount Penken and Mount Ahorn, excellent slope conditions can still be expected well into spring.

Absolutely – spring skiing has its own unique charm. Expect:

• longer sunny days

• mild temperatures

• perfect firn snow conditions

• a relaxed atmosphere on the slopes

Especially on Mount Ahorn (perfect for enjoyment) and the sporty Mount Penken, skiing feels lighter and more enjoyable.

Mountopolis offers ideal conditions for late-season skiing:

• altitude up to approx. 2,500 metres (Mount Penken)

• varied terrain with different slope orientations

• modern snowmaking and grooming

• partly north-facing runs

These factors help maintain stable and enjoyable snow conditions.

Firn snow is often described as the “champagne of snow.” It forms when:

By late morning, the snow becomes soft, grippy and perfect for smooth, flowing turns.

Spring skiing in Zillertal combines sport and enjoyment:

• more sunshine and longer days
