Nightlife is great with pubs, bars and clubs. Après ski starts up the mountain at Penken before spreading to the Ice Bar at the foot of the Gondola. Scotland Yard and Sports Arena are 2 of the best clubs in the resort. The Erlebnis Mayrhofen swimming pool complex is one of the leading water parks in Austria.
