Ellmau Ski Resort
The family friendly resort of Ellmau has great access to the vast 284km network of slopes that make up the Ski Welt – a fantastic area of linked, intermediate-friendly pistes.
Ellmau sits on the northern edge of the vast Ski Welt, one of the world’s largest linked ski areas. A seriously impressive lift system will take you across the Hartkaiser mountain towards the resorts of Scheffau, Söll, Hopfgarten, Westendorf and Brixen im Thale. Most of the terrain is suited to beginners and intermediates, but following fresh snowfall there is some decent off piste to be found through the trees. Although the ski area is all under 2000m, one of the most powerful snowmaking systems in the Alps ensures decent on piste coverage throughout the winter.
The traditional village makes for a great base for families, especially as there is a nice pod of gentle runs and beginner slopes located right above it. It is also a very affordable resort, both in terms of the accommodation on offer and up on the hill for food and drink.
