Resort Height: 820m

If you`re looking for a real taste of Austria, Ellmau or the rustic village of Scheffau would be the place. In both you`ll find a friendly, unpretentious atmosphere, relaxed, low-key apres-ski and delicious, Tyrolean-style cuisine, as well as access to 250km of pistes!

Beginners
Just about all the runs close to Ellmau are of a beginner and early-intermediate standard. The ski school has a great number of English-speaking instructors and the gentle runs allow beginners to progress with ease. In addition, we have organised ski storage at the bottom of the nursery slopes in Ellmau for Neilson guests who pre-book their equipment through us, making the first experience on the slopes a lot easier. The nursery slope in Scheffau is found in the village, but you will soon progress onto the gentle runs at the top of the Brandstal gondola.

Intermediate
With direct access to the Ski Welt ski circus, both Ellmau and Scheffau are ideal bases for the intermediate skier. There is an enormous variety of runs ranging from open, sunny runs up top, to broad, winding runs through trees on lower slopes. Some more testing, steeper terrain offers all levels a chance to improve technique.

Advanced
The direct link with the Ski Welt ski circus provides a wealth of opportunity for interesting skiing, especially at Soll and Hopfgarten where there are some long and challenging descents and also at the top of the Hohe Salve, where the runs are steeper than elsewhere in the circuit.

Snowboarding
The huge `Ski Welt` area offers 250km of pistes, most of which are wide, open, cruisey-type runs ideal for perfecting technique.There is also a snowboard park, including various ramps and rails in the Westendorf area of the Ski Welt.

Apres Ski
Ellmau`s apres-ski is relaxed but offers a selection of bars playing live music, and a variety of restaurants. Route 66, Pub Memory, Disco Tenne and DJ Otzi bar are some of the more popular spots. Other apres-ski activities include tobogganing, sleigh rides, curling and bowling. Scheffau`s apres-ski scene is more low-key and a friendly place for informal drinks.

Children
Skiing Kindergartens in Ellmau and Scheffau: Operate Sunday to Friday, 10.00-12.00 and 14.00-16.00 for children aged 4-11 years. English is spoken. Lunch and lunchtime supervision is available at a charge, payable locally.
