Wonderful holiday
The trip happened from 6.03 to 12.03. A wonderful resort, a wonderful holiday. There is of course the only nuance, but it is only for snowboarders. No matter how they write about the wonderful Mayrhofen here, objectively it is, but all the same, the tracks are very tough, and by 2 pm it becomes very difficult for snowboarders to ride. Since skiers throw mounds and in some places you can even find ice. This is the only downside. But as a way out of the situation, you need to ride from the early morning, when the tracks are still cleared and even, and by lunchtime go to the powder outside the tracks, of course there is not so much of it, but of course you can climb. And so in order: We flew from Sheremetyevo, sent PACGRUP, no complaints, everything went without surprises, and at the resort they are always open and ready to answer all your questions until 22. We flew to Innsbruck, where we were met and taken to Mayrhofen, by bus for about 2 hours. 40min. Spread out. I won’t write much about the hotel, a good small hotel, with normal breakfasts and a decent room, I didn’t need more because they only came there to spend the night, all hotels are decent and apartments, it just depends on the set of services. Moreover, the choice of the hotel, as always, took place according to the program closer to the ski lift. It turned out to be a completely unnecessary option, since it is better to choose a hotel so that there is a skibus stop nearby, regarding this resort. Let me explain: since we didn’t want to sit and ride in one place, we wanted to try all the cocking arenas, and there are already 6 of them. Each arena can be reached by public transport, which runs with enviable consistency, namely to the glacier by bus, and most of the others by train, narrow gauge, everything is nearby 10-30 minutes drive depending on the arena, so getting there is easy and fun and everything is free since it is included in the general ski pass, and passes to all lifts in all arenas are also included in the ski pass, you don’t have to pay anything extra anywhere, for 6 days it costs 180 euros. There is a great variety of slopes in all arenas, both for beginners (blue) and advanced (red), there are black ones and they are really black cool, skiers will like it, but snowboarders are better off with protection (I repeat, the routes are all hard, I felt it on my tailbone). You can’t run everything in 6 days, you don’t even have to try, because we wanted to embrace all the arenas, so we skated selectively in order to get further away and have time to ride off the tracks, and I don’t remember to repeat at least once. Particular attention is occupied by the Hintertux glacier, height 3250, beauty and in the morning there are good long, flat, wide tracks along which you can drive back to the beginning of the ascent, you can drive for about 40 minutes, with smoke breaks, you can’t do without them. There were a lot of people, if on Hintertux this is not at all noticeable on the lifts, then on Penken it is already noticed for about 10 minutes standing on especially popular lifts, to the top of course the people are resorbed, and in other arenas, Fü gen, Hokfü gen, Zimme al Ziller, the situation is worse , there are only one lift lines, and here you could stand for 15-20 minutes, but towards the peaks, there are also fewer people. The weather was just wonderful all the days, the sun was all the time, I forgot the cream, my face burned out. The food in the town is tasty almost everywhere and large (BIG) portions, the average bill per person with a delicious beer is 20-25 euros. On the mountain 10-15 euros. In stores, everything is of course cheaper, beer 1 euro. The nightlife is bustling, you can always hang out well, it's not difficult to find. There are a lot of sports shops, Moscow prices, but you can find a lot of good things that don't happen in Moscow. There are many equipment rentals, the average price for 5 days is 60 euros, this is of course on the Basic model, but the higher class is not much more expensive. The small town is very beautiful, there are many excursions, Munich, Vienna, castles, Swarovski, Venice, etc. The average price for a tour is 50 euros. In general, the resort is wonderful, with pleasure I will come back sometime, dokatat all the tracks.
