Flinkenberg, is a small family ski resort, ideal for beginners and improvers. However, because it is part of the Zillertal Ski area (with 455km of runs) and is lift-linked to Mayrhofen, it has enough skiing to keep more advanced skiers happy (as long as they don't mind a commute to their ski runs).
