There are four ski schools here, Die Roten Profis, Ski School Mayrhofen Total, Ski School Mayrhofen 3000 and Ski School Skimayrhofen.com.
Competition between them is intense, and it’s kept a lid on prices. In 2012, these were their prices for 5x4hr adult lessons (20 hours) varied between €150 and €161.
The prices are the same in high season or low season, and given you get both morning and afternoon tuition they compare well with the big resorts in France and Switzerland. Private tuition is less expensive here, too.
The nursery slopes are great for children too, but…
The nursery slopes at the top of the Penken gondola are very good – gentle, and set well away from the main pistes. So you don’t get speed merchants ploughing through groups of children.
However, we wouldn’t recommend the resort for children – partly because so many of the hotels are a bit of a hike (or a bus ride) from the two lift stations, and because of the resort’s sometimes raucous nightlife.

Hi Felice,
Do you know where you can find an off-piste guide in Mayrhofen?
