Hi. Using your lift pass you get access to the train system that links Mayerhofen to Zell Am Ziller. Travel down the valley and have a go on their mountain toboggan! It’s loads of fun and only cost €12.00 per person for 3 goes! There is a restaurant situated almost directly outside of the gondola station overlooking the toboggan which serves the best food mate! It’s very reasonably priced also. You can swim inside the Hintertux Glacier at this time of year you know! Yes, I said swim. I’ve never done it but our guide, Dominic mentioned it. The free bus service that you can use on your ski pass is brilliant. Mayerhofen is a big place mate. In the centre of Mayerhofen there is a most splendid church, it’s ancient and looks beautiful at night when it’s illuminated by coloured spotlights. There’s a cinema if you want to have an evening of relaxation with your mates and there are literally hundreds of places to eat! Enjoy the glacier, it is stunning and Dom, the guide is such a nice guy!

Yes, you can go skiing in Summer and also rent clothes at Sport Nenner. You should know that skiing is (only) pretty in the early morning.

Hello. Yes that is possible. You can use the lifts to get to the top to enjoy the view and the snow. There is actually an attraction up there - a snow/ice cave that is much easier to see if you are not in skiing boots! Enjoy your visit and remember to bring warm clothes - winds can be very strong on the top.

Renting ski equipment and renting a ski pass for the lifts are paid for separately.

Not sure as never having attended the opening. My inclination would be to avoid the crowds (and queues) and go a week later.

It is cold at the top the glacier is millions of years old. It was free for the first cable car with an active card, the next 2 cable cars cost €42 for two adults, kids were free. The bus from Myrhofen train station runs every 30 mins and takes about an hour to get there. It's the last stop so that's easy. Read my review if you want to see the ice cave. Decent footware recommended if you don't want cold feet.
