Half our group snow boarded and half skied and both groups had a fantastic time, the beginers had lots of choice on gentle blue runs and the advanced skier/boarder had plenty choice on various black runs including the devils run and the hakari

Overall has a nice, quaint alpine theme. Some of the architecture is a little tacky, but the atmosphere was amazing. Maight be due to the many fellow students around.

Very good terrain park, yet only built if there is enough snow, which there was not on the prior years trip. More snowboard orientated slopes in the heart of the piste layout, yet some real gems to be found if ventured further a field.

Very attractive, traditional village. Apres-ski is fantastic, range of good shops, great bars and a very lively nightclub. The ice rink also offers a good leisure alternative. Prices are generally much cheaper than most resorts, however drinks can be a bit pricey.

The snow on the mountain is good quality and is maintained very well. There are a multitude of runs both on the north and south side of the mountain surrounded by lovelly tree lines for those of you who like to shoot off piste and have some fun like myself. For the more adventurous skier there are 22km of black runs including the steepest run in Austria, the infamous Hara Kiri with a 78% gradient. Finally for those freestyle guru's there is the Burton Park which has a huge variety of kickers, boxes and rails to play on, ranging from beginner to pro-line which is totally off the wall.

Mayrhofen is a fantastic resort with a thriving nightlife for all ages. Speaking as a student, There are many places to go to drink including the infamous Scotland Yard!!! what a place, oh and you cant forget Sports bar and Arena. The locals are all really friendly consisting of a diversity of nationalities and they are always up for a laugh. Theres some great restaurants too!!

Great apres ski bars right at the bottom of the lift station - and good huts and igloo bar on the piste if you want to start early. Later on there are certain places to go to carry on, but if you prefer a day off, you can just chill out at a bar or restaurant.

Superb skiing across the levels, beginners have their own ski area – the Ahorn, Mayrhofen has the steepest groomed slope in Austria and great off-piste, whilst the Mayrhofen terrain park is one of the best in the Alps. The skiing is also high; the only downside is the lack of ski piste back to Mayrhofen.
