When Mount Penken calls with its sporting challenges and varied fun on the slopes, you must go!

Those who doubt whether they are up to the challenge can sample the delights of the DevilsRun. The BlackAttack’s racy name says it all and a camera even measures and records your personal best time along the SkiMovie Run.
There is good reason why PenkenPark is considered one of the best snowparks in Europe. Its five areas are not only frequented by the who's who of the international freeskiing and snowboarding scene, but beginners can also practice tricks and stunts on the various kickers against the awesome backdrop of Mountopolis. Our tip: Test the FunCross in the PenkenPark!

But do beware: Mountopolis is also known for its challenging ValleyRun Ahorn! Encompassing a length of 5.5 km and over 1,300 meters in elevation difference, this black slope takes you all the way back down to the valley. The Ahornbahn and the ValleyRun Ahorn open before all other lifts and slopes at 7.30 a.m., so early birds can indulge in morning sports on Mount Ahorn.

Quick answer
Mayrhofen is 70 km from Innsbruck Airport, with a typical road transfer taking about 60 minutes door to door. The route follows the A12 and B169, both regularly cleared during winter, but traffic congestion is possible on Saturdays between 09:00 and 12:00 during high season. Pre-booked private transfers with Innsbruck Airport Taxi Transfer ensure direct pick-up at the arrivals hall and reliable timings year-round.
Mayrhofen is reached using the B169 Zillertalstraße for the final 33 km from the A12 motorway at Wiesing. During school holiday Saturdays (09:00–13:00), traffic density can double according to Tirol Mobilitätsdaten 2024. Plan arrivals before 08:00 or after 14:00 to avoid delays.
The B169 is regularly cleared but can require Schneeketten (snow chains) for vehicles without Allradantrieb (all-wheel drive) after heavy snowfalls, particularly above Ramsau (630 m). Tirol police enforce mandatory chain use during snow events—carry chains December to March as a precaution.
For Innsbruck Airport arrivals, taxi transfer pickup is at the Arrivals exit (Terminal A). The short-stay car park (P1) is 40 m from the exit. Drivers track flight status in real time and adjust pickup for delays at no extra charge. Evening arrivals after 22:00 require advance notice.
Mayrhofen’s popularity with ski groups means transfer vehicles frequently transport oversized equipment. Each Mercedes V-Class or Sprinter minibus can accommodate up to 7 or 16 passengers, including ski bags and boots. Pre-booking child seats (0–9 kg and 9–18 kg) is standard—specify requirements when reserving.
The 504 m Gagering Tunnel, 12 km before Mayrhofen, can see traffic slowdowns during weekend changeover hours (10:00–12:00). In the event of heavy snowfall, delays may extend further up the valley. Local authorities occasionally implement convoy driving when visibility is low.
For Mayrhofen, book airport transfers at least 2–4 weeks in advance for trips during Christmas, New Year, and February half-term; last-minute slots may fill up quickly in these peak windows. Outside holiday periods, 7–10 days’ notice is usually sufficient to secure preferred vehicle size.
Transfers from Innsbruck to Mayrhofen can be delayed by heavy snowfall or ice on the B169, especially between Strass and Zell am Ziller (per Tirol road authority). Saturday congestion during peak season often adds 20–40 minutes, particularly when ski-bus convoys coincide with guest arrivals.
