Ski hire in Mayrhofen means renting ski equipment (skis or a snowboard, plus ski boots, ski poles and a helmet if you need them) from a rental shop in Mayrhofen or one of the neighbouring villages in the Zillertal valley. Last season, our customers paid a median of \u20ac100 for six days of intermediate skis and boots in Mayrhofen, and \u20ac24 for a single day.<\/p>\n

Mayrhofen is one of the best-known ski towns in Tyrol, and the partner shops in the village handled more than 5,600 bookings on alpy.com last winter. We used those bookings to work out what ski hire in Mayrhofen really costs, where to pick up your gear, and how to keep the bill down.<\/p>\n

The short version: Mayrhofen is good value. A week of intermediate skis and boots costs about a quarter less than the Austrian median, and most of our customers rent for the whole week.<\/p>\n

Ski hire Mayrhofen prices: how much does it cost?<\/h2>\n

Median price paid per person on alpy.com at partner shops in Mayrhofen last season. Includes the booking service fee, excludes optional protection and helmets. “\u2013” means too few bookings to report.<\/p>\n

Two things stand out. First, the week is the better deal: six single days of intermediate skis and boots would add up to \u20ac144, against \u20ac100 for a six-day package. That’s about 31% less per day. Second, Mayrhofen’s \u20ac100 is about 25% below the Austrian median of \u20ac133 for the same package. For a resort this well known, that’s a pleasant surprise.<\/p>\n

Where are the ski rental shops in Mayrhofen?<\/h2>\n

alpy.com has partner shops in Mayrhofen and across the Zillertal. You can browse all of them, compare their benefits, prices and availability, and book online on alpy.com.<\/p>\n

Which skis suit the Mayrhofen ski area?<\/h2>\n

Mayrhofen’s own ski area has around 142 km of pistes, between 630 m and about 2,500 m. Most of it sits on the Penken side, which links to Horberg, Rastkogel, Eggalm and Finkenberg. Across the valley, the Ahorn has wide, gentle slopes that suit beginners and families. Half of the pistes are rated intermediate, so this is classic red-run skiing for most visitors.<\/p>\n

Then there’s the Harakiri. With a gradient of 78%, it’s billed as Austria’s steepest slope, and it’s one of the reasons good skiers come here. The Ski Zillertal 3000 lift pass also covers the Hintertux Glacier, up to 3,250 m and reached by ski bus, giving more than 200 km of pistes in total.<\/p>\n

For most people, a Red\/Silver ski is the right rental grade. It’s forgiving on the long, rolling reds of the Penken and still holds an edge when the snow is firm. Confident skiers who plan a day on the glacier or a run down the Harakiri may want a Black\/Gold ski instead. Last season it cost \u20ac27 more than Red\/Silver for six days in Mayrhofen, and a stiffer ski feels much steadier on steep, icy ground.<\/p>\n

Beginners should keep it simple. A soft Blue\/Bronze ski with boots cost a median of \u20ac87 for six days. Start on the gentle slopes of the Ahorn and move up a grade once you feel ready. If you’re unsure where you fit, our guide explains what each ski rental grade really means<\/a>.<\/p>\n

How much does snowboard hire cost in Mayrhofen?<\/h2>\n

Snowboard hire in Mayrhofen costs a little more than ski hire. A mid-range (Red\/Silver) snowboard with snowboard boots cost a median of \u20ac75 for three days last season and \u20ac114 for six days. That’s \u20ac14 more than intermediate skis and boots for the week.<\/p>\n

Around 15% of our Mayrhofen bookings included a snowboard. Mayrhofen has a strong freestyle reputation, with a well-known terrain park on the Penken, and the local partner shops rent boards as well as skis.<\/p>\n

What else adds to the cost?<\/h2>\n

A few extras come up at the counter. Here’s what they cost and how often our Mayrhofen customers chose them:<\/p>\n
