"Harakiri on Mount Penken is the most difficult groomed trail in Zillertal, featuring a gradient up to 78% over a solid distance. If you believe you're ready to hit this route, they suggest sending Piste 12, or "Devil's Run", before hand to test your skills."
"If you want to ski some scary steep groomers, you'd better head to Europe. Specifically Austria, where they tend to be quite proud of their perfect corduroy, is a great place to find these steep runs."
Europe, particularly Austria, offers some of the world's steepest groomed ski runs, contrasting with the U.S. where steep runs typically remain ungroomed with natural moguls. Harakiri at Mayrhofen Ski Area on Mount Penken stands out as one of the most challenging groomed trails in Zillertal, with gradients reaching 78% over considerable distance. The resort recommends skiers first attempt Piste 12, known as Devil's Run, to assess their abilities before tackling Harakiri. The steep final section of Devil's Run serves as a preparatory test, nicknamed the Harakiri Test, helping skiers determine their readiness for the main run.
