LIFT PASS The Zillertal Superski Pass covers all lifts in the Zillertal including the Hintertux Glacier, Penken, Ahorn and Zell am Ziller. BEGINNERS Extensive and sunny nursery slopes are found at Ahorn, reached by cable-car whilst Penken offers some easy blues to progress to. INTERMEDIATES Mayrhofen offers excellent scope for intermediate skiers and boarders with over 625km of pistes to explore in the Ziller Valley, connected by ski bus or the local train. There are plenty of pistes for cruising with some enjoyable long runs at Rastkogel. ADVANCED Mayrhofen is home to Austria's steepest piste the Harakiri which is certainly challenging, and there are interesting routes from Penken to Schwendau. Some good off-piste can be found at the top of Horebergjoch and Rastkogel.
