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 02/05

The weekend starts mild across the region, with the freezing line ticking up to 4,000m. This sits under a layer of cloud cover, which will bring with it precipitation; this will fall as snow in many areas, as the freezing line drops from this peak as low as 1,500m over the course of the weekend.

Western areas will see around 12cm of snow, with easterly and southern areas seeing perhaps a foot on Monday along, with another 10cm before and after. This will remain across higher ground, as the freezing line doesn’t dip below 2,000m during this snowy period.

Unsettled conditions continue over the course of this week, with more snow on the way in parts.

Thus concludes our snow overviews for the 2024/25 season; thank you to everyone who has tuned in, and we look forward to seeing you again next season!
