Scheffau's location in between Söll and Ellmau places it right in the heart of the SkiWelt ski area, giving skiers and boarders prime access to the vast network of linked slopes.

Access comes from Blaiken, a short bus ride away from the main village, via two gondolas to Brandstadl. From here, the SkiWelt’s impressive 284km of slopes hops from valley to valley and over ridgelines, all served by one of the world’s best lift systems. Snow reliability can be an issue on the resort runs in particular, but incredible investment in snowmaking has definitely helped in recent years.

The village itself is located 1km to the north of the ski lifts, meaning each morning you’ll need to walk for 20 minutes, drive or catch the ski bus down to the lifts. Alternatively, a couple of hotels can be found by the gondolas.

Scheffau itself is attractive however, with an old centre and some decent dining options, but this isn’t a resort renowned for its lively bar scene – head to nearby Söll instead. Both Innsbruck and Salzburg lie a little over an hour’s drive away from Scheffau.

Snow Overview

Austria

Updated 03/02

A tale of two halves over Austria this week, with western and eastern regions seeing different forecasts. Western areas will see steady flurries of snowfall through the middle of this week before fine, dry and bright conditions dominate on Thursday. The freezing will steadily decline over this period, starting at 2,000m and, with a few bumps along the way, float down to 500m on the weekend.

More snowfall will then come in over higher ground as the weekend begins, with 10cm expected down over Friday night and into Saturday. Things settle down, albeit remain cold and cloudy with more snowfall threatened in the new week.

Eastern areas will be far snowier through the middle of this week, with the potential for 20cm of snow down over Wednesday and Thursday. The freezing line will be higher, however, sitting around 2,000m for this period meaning snow will be limited to upper slopes. Things then cool off as the freezing line drops to 500m but things turn drier into the weekend and new week.
