Legendary for its après-ski, music and comedy festivals and Austrian hospitality, Mayrhofen is perhaps best known as one of Europe’s premier ski destinations. But if you’re dying for an alternative way to see the spectacular views from the very top of Ahorn Mountain, this is the perfect opportunity. With a Snow Limo Tour, you can take a seat and make yourself comfortable while your guide skis you down the piste. It’s the closest thing you can get to actual skiing - the only difference will be the lack of sore muscles at the end of the day!
How does it work?
A unique experience first invented in Canada, Snow Limo Tours are available in Europe for the first time ever at the Mayrhofen ski resort. Snow Limo Tours in Mayrhofen take you down the ski pistes of the Ahorn Mountain. You can choose from tours lasting half an hour or an hour; prices start at €40. Snow Limos are designed like a seat attached to a pair of skis, into which you are safely strapped while your talented guide leads you down the piste. There is no experience required to enjoy a Snow Limo Tour: the Snow Limo guides are highly trained and they will make sure your experience is safe and unforgettable. Plus, as an added bonus, you get great company and an introduction to the mountain from a local.
Who can take a Snow Limo Tour?
The beauty of Snow Limo Tours is that they are accessible for everyone. The one-of-a-kind design means even disabled skiers can get out on the pistes again. It’s also a great option for an unforgettable honeymoon or a wedding anniversary. And of course, if you’re on a ski holiday with the family or a large group with all different levels of skiers, this is a fantastic way to bring everybody together.
Why would a skier want to take a Snow Limo Tour?
Came up the mountain just to visit the White Lounge and regret not bringing your ski gear? Totally exhausted from shredding it up yesterday but already paid for an entire week at Mayrhofen? Out with an injury this season? Or perhaps you just didn’t feel like wearing your Darth Vader ski boots today. Opt for the comfort of a snow limo tour instead and don’t miss a second of your holiday. Even if you’re an experienced skier, now you can share your favourite sport with friends and family who don’t ski.
Guilt-free touring: the cleanest way to enjoy the mountain
No more manky exhaust from snowmobiles, Snow Limo Tours are environmentally friendly and totally human-powered. Help your guide get in good shape as you fly down the mountain in an angelic carbon-neutral halo!
What do I need to know before going on a Snow Limo Tour?
Snow Limo Tours are comfortable and easy. You don’t need to know how to ski or snowboard, and the chairs are ingeniously designed so that you can even board the ski lift without having to move from your seat. Just sit back, relax and let your guide take care of everything. But do remember that you are still on a mountain - it might be hard to believe given how comfortable you are, but you still need to bring the usual ski gear. Snow pants and jacket, waterproof shoes, a scarf, gloves, a warm hat and sunglasses or ski goggles are a must.
How is Snow Limo Touring better than skiing?
Eh? Better than skiing? Well, in some ways, Snow Limo Touring actually is cooler than skiing. You get to learn about the history and the local culture from your friendly guide. For all you photographers out there, this is a hands-free opportunity to photograph every last detail of these incredible views. And, of course, Snow Limo Tours allow you to bond with friends and family on the mountain itself. Exhilaration is so much better when it’s shared with the ones you love!
Try out skiing the fun way before deciding if it’s worth doing the whole rigmarole
Never had a taste of the mountain for yourself? Stuck at the bar all day while the rest of your family enjoys the fresh air and the views? Snow Limo Tours is the chance of a lifetime. Once you’ve tried it once, it’s impossible not to be captivated by the stunning scenery and the exhilarating feeling of gliding through this winter wonderland. Now there is no excuse not to discover firsthand why skiing is the greatest sport ever!
