Long and delightful route down the Horberg Valley
Less than 2 hours south of Munich lies one of Austria's best known ski areas. Here are the finest freeride routes on this legendary mountain.
The Zillertal is quite simply a mountain paradise - it is home to 3 amazing ski areas, virtually endless hiking and biking trails, and the rock climbing is epic too.
Perhaps the most famous of the Zillertal's resorts is Mayrhofen. It hosted a World Cup ski race for many years and today is home to Austria's steepest piste.
For keen freeriders the area is wonderful, with long but not overly technical valleys and bowls everywhere you look. Here are 6 of the best freeride routes above Mayrhofen to whet your appetite for exploring the fabulous area.
Once you've done these, there is still a lot of to go at in the Zillertal! Here's a taster of what still awaits you -
