Zillertal, Hintertuxer Gletscher

Highlights include:

• It’s home to two major festivals: Snowbombing for music and Altitude for comedy.
• The world’s steepest run: the Hara Kiri (78% steepness) is in Mayrhofen.
• The Penken Park is often hailed as Europe’s best funpark.
• Linked with Hintertux, Europe’s only year-round ski area (it’s open 365 days a year!).
• The Zillertal Super Ski Pass includes these two areas and a total of 489 piste kilometres and 177 lifts.
• The Zillertal Valley is home to two brilliant aqua parks.
• The Telegraph newspaper claimed Mayrhofen was home to the second best apres ski in the world.
• The Igloo Village on the top of the Ahorn mountain is a high-altitude bar and hotel made from ice. And yes, you can stay up there for the night.
