Before heading down the mountain why not enjoy a drink inside the igloo village – all ages love it here. On your way down you won’t be able to resist a stop off at the lively Pilzbar – you’ll hear the party a mile off.  

Once your back in town the fun continues, whether it’s a relaxed cocktail, friendly pub or wild party, Mayrhofen has you covered. The night usually begins in the Ice Bar and ends in the early hours at Brück'n Stadl. You’ll quickly find out why Austrian après ski is famous. For a more laid back spot, enjoy watching live sports events and a beer at the English-Irish-Austrian Scotland Yard pub.

If you can’t hold out until dinner we recommend Gasser deli. Serving traditional meats, it is the perfect pit stop before après ski.
