Which pass you need
- One day in Mayrhofen: the Mayrhofen day ticket, €82 for an adult.
- Two days or more: from two days the Zillertal Superskipass applies. It covers every ski area in the valley, 546 km of pistes and 180 lifts, including the Hintertux Glacier and the Zillertal Arena.
- "Ski- und Gletscherwelt Zillertal 3000": this is the linked area from Mayrhofen to the Hintertux Glacier, up to 206 km of pistes between 630 and 3,250 m. It has no multi-day pass of its own: the multi-day pass sold at Hintertux is the Superskipass, at the same prices.
- Whole winter: the Mayrhofen season pass (Ahorn, Penken, Finkenberg, Rastkogel, Eggalm) costs €925 and is sold at the cash desk only.
There is one price for the whole season, without high- or low-season rates. Online and at the cash desk the price is the same; the online pass lets you go straight to the gondola. Afternoon passes, 2.5- and 3.5-day passes and season passes are sold at the cash desk only.
The Superskipass also includes the ski buses and most buses and trains of the Zillertal transport company; the steam train is excluded.

Two sources disagree on the Ahornbahn: the Mayrhofen tourist board gives 12 December to 4 April, the Zillertal press release for winter 2026/27 gives 11 December to 11 April. If your trip falls in either edge week, check the Mayrhofner Bergbahnen page before you book. The Hintertux winter tariff runs from 17 October 2026 to 7 May 2027.
