 Poster: A snowHead
|
Morning all,
I'm booking some skis through SkiExtras.com for Mayrhofen and it gives me different options from where to rent. Just wondering if anyone has any advice? The maps provided don't really give much of a clue as to which one is nearest the main gondola etc. Sport Manni I, Sport Manni II, and Manni Rental are the options. Thanks in advance!

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Ordhan, I'm not sure I would want to have my equipment (whether rented or not) anywhere but at my accommodation in the Zillertal.
There are so many options for where to ski, that leaving them at the top ()or even bottom) of any gondola is too restrictive IMV.
If you have decided in advance that you are only going to ski starting from the Penkenbahn every day, then that is a different matter, of course.

Thanks Ordhan & Alex,
In most other places I've been to once you have collected your skis on the Sunday, you can keep them all week and take them back on the Friday - is that not the case in Mayrhofen? Ordhan, I think your solution would be great, if like Alex says you are going to use the Penken everyday. I'm just not sure that we will. I'll just have to hope there is some storage at our accommodation - either that or they let you take the skis back to the room. How do most people cope in Mayrhofen - what is the usual? Ta muchly.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Ordhan, I'm not suggesting for one moment that there is anything at all wrong with the place.
Just that I personally would be unlikely to always ski from the Penkenbahn if I were staying in Mayrhofen. As I said, for anybody who is going to do so, storing the skis there is probably a very good idea. And I realise quite a lot of people will only ski that area - it isn't a small area by any means.
dave2811, Almost all accommodation will have ski rooms. I don't think I have ever stayed at a hotel in a ski resort that didn't, although some chalets don't, and I have no idea what the normal arrangement is with apartments.

After some more research, looks like Manni 1 is about 200m from the Penken. Hope this helps if anyone else has a similar problem.
