ACTION MOUNTAIN PENKEN & LEISURE MOUNTAIN AHORN –
A PAIR OF TYROLEAN MOUNTAINS AND PLENTY OF FAMILY FUN!

Mayrhofen. Let’s be honest. Who doesn’t dream of excitement, variety, fun, a fair bit of action, and lots of leisure? That’s what a summer holiday with the entire family should be like, right? In 2018, the Mayrhofner Bergbahnen are once more offering the perfect package. Whether you’re looking for action on Mount Penken or a chance to enjoy nature with your loved ones on Mount Ahorn – mountain enthusiasts can again look forward to a very personal experience this summer.

Everybody loves Action Mountain Penken and Leisure Mountain Ahorn, our two amazing mountains located in Zillertal in Tyrol. They offer endless possibilities and promise action-packed excitement, a variety of fun activities, and magical moments for ambitious athletes, nature-loving hikers, and tranquility-seeking pleasure seekers each and every day. With the Mayrhofner Bergbahnen, one of 20 award-winning Tyrolean Summer Lifts, summer fun for the entire family is guaranteed.

NEW & EXCITING ATTRACTIONS FOR YOUNG AND OLD
Agility, courage, excitement, and lots of leisure – those are the keywords for the 2018 summer season. Countless novelties as well as exceptional attractions make for unforgettable moments on both mountains. Test your balance in the all-new Motor Skills Park (12 stations, including training and warm-up stations) or attempt to negotiate the challenging E-Trial Parcours on our electric motorcycles – that is what fun for the entire family looks like on Mount Penken, at 2,000 meters above sea level. The twelve specially prepared E-Trials have been designed to meet the needs of children, youth, and adults. They are powered by eco-friendly electricity and they are extremely quiet. In order to ride the Trials, you’ll need good coordination skills, a healthy dose of agility, as well as steady nerves. The Funsportstation on Mount Penken lives up to its name yet again with its unique offer of two different Mountain Scooters and Mountain Scooter tours, via ferrata sets for rent, and the Funballz at the Penken Reservoir. The new and idyllic Mountain Playground with swings, climbing towers, and water elements guarantees even more action this summer.
If that’s too much excitement for you, we recommend exploring the surroundings at a leisurely pace using the new “Locandy App”. Both young and old mystery fans will enjoy this interactive audio app while strolling along the Leisure Trail Ahorn. With the Mayrhofen Mountain App, you can now also get fascinating facts about the breathtaking Zillertal mountains in the summer. Both apps are available for free in the App Store and the Google Play Store. (Locandy App: German only)

ENDLESS POSSIBILITIES: ACTION MOUNTAIN PENKEN
You definitely won’t get bored here. Rather, you’ll go from one adrenalin rush to the next. The state-of-the-art 3S Penkenbahn will take you from the valley to 1,800 meters above sea level in only 8.2 minutes, and you’ll also be treated with WiFi and stunning views along the way. Anyone who feels like getting even closer to the summit of the mountain can then hop on the Kombibahn Penken and choose between 10-person or open-air gondolas.
Up on Mount Penken, mountaineers and bikers alike will find their perfect tour. Whether you’re a beginner, at an advanced level, or a pro, Action Mountain will satisfy all of your needs with its endless possibilities. If you’re looking for a more leisurely adventure, you’ll also have your way. The newly designed Panorama Trail, which is suitable for baby buggies, has several lookouts equipped with binoculars where you can get incredible views of the mountains of Mayrhofen.
For all those who want to get as high up as possible, we recommend the two via ferratas at the Knorren: “Knorren Nadel” and “Steinbock”. There are also more than 50 challenging rock climbs and at the Gschöss climbing area ranging between Grade IV and VIII (UIAA) that will surely test your nerves. Incredibly exciting, thrilling, and beautiful – that’s Action Mountain Penken.

LEISURE MOUNTAIN AHORN
If you’re looking to unwind, rest, and relax, Mount Ahorn is the place for you. The adventure for all of your senses begins as soon as you ride the Ahornbahn, Austria’s largest reversible ropeway, up to 2,000 meters above sea level in only 6.5 minutes. At the Ahorn Plateau, nature lovers and families will find a mountain paradise with countless opportunities.
The Leisure Trail (also suitable for baby buggies) is a great place to learn all about the diverse flora and fauna of the High Alps Nature Park Zillertaler Alps and to enjoy the breathtaking views. If you can’t get enough of the impressive panorama, linger a little longer at Eagle’s View panorama platform or re-energize at Leisure Square in front of the summit station. Another highlight is the Sinnespfad, where explorers of all ages can put their balance and coordination to the test.
Nature lovers will also be able to unwind at Lake Ahornsee and Ahornbachl stream, and last year we added lots of places to sit and play. This water oasis in the middle of the Tyrolean Alps is truly a welcome place to relax.
Be sure to visit the Eagle’s Stage Ahorn for a truly exceptional experience. Watch eagles, eagle owls, and buzzards show off their spectacular aerial acrobatics at the impressive stage that was built out of natural materials and is located at 2,000 meters above sea level. The one-hour Birds of Prey Show takes place at 2:00 p.m. every Saturday to Thursday.
In July and August, we have even more leisurely highlights to offer on Mount Ahorn. Try our Sunrise Breakfast (every Thursday) or enjoy an open-air cinema with a romantic sunset (weekly from July to mid-August). Summer on Leisure Mountain Ahorn means lots of wonderful experiences.
