Mayrhofen's Harakiri — How to Find the Steepest Slope in the Zillertal

There is one slope in the Zillertal that every serious skier has heard of: Harakiri. At 78% gradient, it is officially the steepest groomed piste in Austria. It is not a marketing gimmick — it is genuinely terrifying to look down from the top. And with Bonvo.Ski, you can find it, study it, and decide if you are ready before you commit.

Finding Harakiri with Expert Slope Rankings

Open Bonvo.Ski's slope rankings for Mayrhofen and filter by Expert. Harakiri appears right at the top. Tap it to see the slope highlighted on the 3D map, and you immediately understand why it has that name — a near-vertical wall of groomed snow dropping from the Penken area.

What 78% Gradient Looks Like in 3D

On a flat piste map, Harakiri looks like any other red or black line. In 3D, the reality hits you. The slope practically falls away beneath you. Bonvo.Ski's terrain rendering shows the true steepness, giving you an honest preview of what you are signing up for.

• Use slope search to find Harakiri directly by name
• Check the elevation profile — you lose serious altitude in a very short horizontal distance
• Record your run and check your speed data afterward — most people are surprised by how fast (or slow) they actually went

Beyond Harakiri

Mayrhofen has far more than one famous slope. The Zillertal Arena connection gives you access to hundreds of kilometres of terrain. But if you want bragging rights, Harakiri is the one to tick off — and Bonvo.Ski makes sure you find it with confidence.
