How far is everything from Black Eagle in Mayrhofen?

The Penkenbahn valley station is 710 m from Black Eagle Luxury Appartements, about a 10-minute walk, and Mayrhofen train station is 240 m away, about 3 minutes. Hotel Elisabeth, which gives the ski bus stop "Einfahrt Mitte/Hotel Elisabeth" its name, is about 150 m away, and Innsbruck Airport is 73 km by road, so a week here works without a car.

All values were routed on OpenStreetMap paths on 14 November 2026. None of them are taken from booking portals. The ski bus stop itself is not on OpenStreetMap, so its row is the route to Hotel Elisabeth.

How these numbers were measured

The start point is the house's map pin at Einfahrt Mitte 422b, 6290 Mayrhofen. Walking routes use the public OpenStreetMap foot router at about 4.5 km/h, and the lift routes were checked against a second router (Valhalla). Driving times are free-flow times: they leave out traffic, parking and fuel stops. On a winter Saturday, allow more. The full data set, with the map object and source for every row, is published as distances.json. Map data © OpenStreetMap contributors.

These are routed values, not walked ones. When the routes have been walked with a phone, the table will be updated and the date above will change.

To the lifts

The Penkenbahn is the gondola up to the Penken ski area. The walk is 710 m along the Ziller river, about 10 minutes; the second router puts it at 670 m. The Ahornbahn, up to Mayrhofen's second mountain, is 1.16 km away. That is 15 minutes by one router and 17 by the other, so plan for 15–17 minutes.

If you would rather not walk in ski boots, take the ski bus from the stop "Einfahrt Mitte/Hotel Elisabeth". The stop is not on OpenStreetMap; the route to Hotel Elisabeth, which gives it its name, is about 150 m. According to the zillertal.at timetable for winter 2025/26, it was served by Skibus Mayrhofen line B, which runs to the Penkenbahn (Dornaustraße) and on to the station, and by line E, which runs to the Penkenbahn (Hauptstraße) and the Ahornbahn. Both ran every 15 minutes in the morning and the afternoon. The ski bus is free with a valid Zillertal Superskipass. The 2026/27 timetable had not been published on 14 November 2026, so check the current one at mayrhofen.at before you rely on a time.

Skis and boots stay in the house's ski room, which has a boot dryer.

Getting here without a car

Mayrhofen train station is 240 m away, about 3 minutes on foot, so you can walk from the train with your luggage. The Zillertalbahn runs between Jenbach in the Inn valley and Mayrhofen every half hour, every day, according to ÖBB. The bus stop in front of the station is where line 4104 to the Hintertux Glacier starts.

Innsbruck is the nearest airport by a wide margin. From Munich and Salzburg the drive is more than twice as long, before any traffic.

Shops, pool and the village

SPAR Eder is right by the Penkenbahn, which makes it an easy stop on the way back from the slopes. The Europahaus is Mayrhofen's congress and event centre.

Further afield

The Hintertux Glacier is 19.7 km up the Tux valley: 22 minutes by car with an empty road, but 25–30 minutes is more realistic. Bus 4104 runs from Mayrhofen station to Hintertux every day of the year. The Zillertal Arena at Zell am Ziller (Rosenalmbahn) is 9.9 km away, 11 minutes by car without traffic.
