Beginners have several options on where to begin their sliding lives. You may choose to use one of the Finkenberg ski schools or one of the many other ski schools in Mayrhofen. However, it is generally less hassle to stay local. Wherever you choose, you should quickly progress to the long blue runs of Penken which can be accessed directly from Finkenberg. Thereafter the mountain abounds with exciting ski wegs (forest tracks) and interesting features on which to build up your confidence.
