February half term 2027 in Mayrhofen

For most English councils, February half term 2027 runs from Monday 15 to Friday 19 February, so the usual ski week is Saturday 13 to Saturday 20 February. Wales and some English councils, such as York, have half term a week earlier, from 8 to 12 February 2027.

Academies, free schools, voluntary-aided and foundation schools can set their own dates, so check with your child's school before you book. Dates are taken from each council's term-dates page, checked on 14 November 2026.

Who else is in Mayrhofen that week

Mayrhofen is one of the most British resorts in Tyrol. In winter 2025/26, 9.9% of all guest nights in the Mayrhofen tourism area were British, against 3.8% across Tyrol. Of Tyrol's 34 tourism areas, only St Anton am Arlberg had a higher British share (13.3%), according to the Tyrolean state statistics office. In the village itself, that came to 118,196 nights. German (44.1%) and Dutch guests (17.6%) are still the largest groups.

In the week of 13–20 February you share the slopes with families on two other school holidays:

• Tyrol's February school holiday (Semesterferien), 15–20 February 2027, so local families are off too.
• The Dutch spring holiday for the south of the Netherlands, 13–21 February. The north and centre of the country start on 20 February, the day most half-term families fly home.
