Ski Holidays in Ellmau, Austria
The stunning village of Ellmau remains one of the top wintersports destinations in Austria, boasting a majestic atmosphere in a landscape surrounded by the Kitzbuheler Alps and the Wilder Kaiser mountains.
With spectacular views over the Kitzbuhel valley and links to the excellent Ski Welt circuit, it is easy to see why Ellmau continues to attract skiers from across Europe.
The area is popular and the number of skiers is often large but the resort seems to absorb them all. The skiing is best characterised by gentle tree-lined runs that are best suited to the beginner or early intermediate. More advanced terrain has to be sought slightly further afield in the Ski Welt area. The area is certainly interesting to explore for even the novice skier and the sign posts can help to guide the skier on excursions to other ski areas in the Ski Welt.
