Pension Almhof

Get an authentic Austria ski break with a stay at the Almhof – it’s family-run, very traditional in style, and super welcoming too.

Wooden furnishings and warm colours are prevalent throughout, from the comfy bedrooms to the traditional parlour with open fire. You’ll enjoy a continental buffet spread each morning, and be free each evening to explore the many varied eateries throughout Mayrhofen. Or keep things simple and upgrade to half board, to get dinners at a local restaurant included.

A surprising bonus in a three star pension is the little wellness area, which has a sauna and relaxation area as well as a fitness room.

The Almhof is in a peaceful location, surrounded by snow-covered meadows on the outskirts of the resort. It’s around 5 minutes’ walk to the centre and 15 minutes’ walk to the Penken gondola, which is certainly doable in ski boots, or you can catch the ski bus from just outside. Spend your days flying down the mountain and immersing yourself in the hustle and bustle of Mayrhofen, knowing that you have a little oasis of calm to return to, to get a good night’s sleep.

Location:

Sitting at the foot of the Penken and Ahorn mountains with 57 lifts, 136km of skiing and Austria’s steepest run, Harakiri, Mayrhofen is one of the most diverse Alpine resorts. All slopes are reached by gondola, so beginners will need a full lift pass from day one, although the ski schools are great and the range of easier runs make for fast progression. Mayrhofen has a wide variety of more challenging runs and, in the right conditions, some impressive off-piste. If you manage to defeat the 38 degree gradient of Harakiri, you get to wear the "I survived Harakiri" t-shirt, and get your 5 minutes' of fame at a free photo shoot every Friday. The Penken Park is also one of the leading freestyle parks in Europe, made up of eight areas. But don't worry, even if you're a beginner you can practice your skills in the Kids Park section.

• 5 minute walk to the resort centre.

• 12-15 minute walk to the Penken gondola.

• 1 minute walk to the ski bus stop.
