Ski the whole of Ski Welt from Westendorf -
29/11/2010
As of 2010 you can now ski to Brixen and take in the whole of Ski Welt without needing to bus or taxi. This gives you access to 250km of slopes from what must be the best value resort in Austria. We have been to Westendorf four times now and it really suits us. The apres-ski may not be lively enough for some but it suits us well. Friendly place, two good ski schools
Apres Ski: 3/5
