About the Resort

"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 après-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 if the fantastic skiing opportunities." - Neilson Ski
