A brief overview
Surrounded by beautiful mountain scenery, Ellmau and Scheffau are
situated 2.5km apart at the base of lush, wooded slopes. Both resorts offer the
advantage of an extensive lift system linking 250km of runs across the Ski Welt
circuit, one of Austria's largest ski areas. The skiing is varied and appeals
to all abilities but particularly intermediates who will love the wealth of
blue and red runs. The ski schools have a good reputation and the gentle runs
close to the village centres are ideal for learning on the first few days. If
you're looking for a real taste of Austria, Ellmau or the charming village of
Scheffau is the place. In both you'll find a friendly, unpretentious
atmosphere, relaxed, low-key apres-ski and delicious, Tyrolean-style cuisine.
Ellmau is bigger in size offering great facilities for children while Scheffau
is a quieter base. Both resorts are ideal for mixed ability groups and families
looking to make the most of the fantastic skiing opportunities.
