Ski Holidays in Ellmau, Austria
Ellmau is part of the Ski Welt Wilder Kaiser-Brixental, one of Austria’s biggest linked ski areas. It has 275km of pistes and 81 modern lifts that provide easy access to Söll, Scheffau, Brixen im Thale, Westendorf and other major ski hubs. Skiers of all levels will appreciate the resort’s wide, sunny pistes and varied valley runs, though Ellmau is probably the best SkiWelt resort for first-time skiers and families. There are nursery areas and free lifts close to the village, four superb ski schools, and extensive beginner terrain that’s easy to access via the Hartkaiserbahn – a 10-seater gondola with extra-slow entry. The Hartkaiserbahn mountain station is home to Ellmi's Kids Club, which provides all-day childcare for kids aged 2-6.
Ellmau is quieter than many of its neighbours, but still has plenty of restaurants, bars and non-skiing activities, with accommodation mostly consisting of attractive, chalet-style guesthouses and apartments. The resort is only 1 hour from Innsbruck and under 1 hour 30 minutes from Salzburg.
