There are certain characteristics a resort should have for first timers and the not so experienced – good nursery slopes, a generous offering of easy blue runs and a lack of crowds. Ellmau has them all, plus something else – access to one of the world’s largest linked ski areas.
The Ski Welt network of slopes around Söll, Hopfgarten and Brixem im Thale offer 248km of intermediate friendly pistes. There’s something else Ellmau has too – great panoramic views across to the Wilder Kaiser mountains, and several huts where you can relax and soak up the epic atmosphere.
