Ellmau: The unique location of Ellmau at the bottom of the "Wilder Kaiser", a picturesque mountain range, fulfills all expectations you may have on a wonderful holiday. In the summer, Ellmau is a perfect starting point for hiking tours of every difficulty. This variety will cover the expenses of ambitious climbers as well as of unhurried strollers. In the winter, Ellmau is very convenient for skiers and snowboarders, due to its ski-runs, which lead directly to the village centre. Apart from these favorable circumstances, Ellmau is well-known for its hospitality. For many years our "Peter" has been contributing to improve guest service by treating it as a matter of personal concern. The results of his daily efforts are many regular guests coming every year to our beautiful place. The fact that Ellmau also is a hot spot for VIP´s doesn´t mean that Ellmaus' inhabitants behave snobbishly. On the contrary, we insist on being a warm-hearted and merry folk. Go and see for yourself!

Visitor Reviews of Ellmau


Wayne Potter from UNITED KINGDOM writes:

Just back from Ellmau, the last week of January. Delightful small village but with plenty to do. Busy at times on the slopes but with the funicular it is only 5 minutes until you are at the top of the Hartkaiser. Runs on Ellmau side were limited in number but it is very easy to get to Scheffau and Soll to explore loads of runs. Piste map does leave a lot to be desired and we found it a bit confusing. Off piste is good but limited in tree runs as the trees are too close together. Very good ski show on the Thursday night where the instructors get to show-off, brilliant to watch. We would like to go back to Ellmau as it is not overrun with tourist gimmicks and somebody trying to sell you a photo/video of your group like in other resorts we've visited. Austrians were welcoming and the service in the accomodation, restaurants and bars was superb. Food portions were massive and food and drink were very cheap, even in the mountain restaurants. Fully recommended to everyone!!

Highlights from the World’s Best Ski Resort
SkiWelt Wilder Kaiser-Brixental*

*Ski resort test 06/07 by topresorts.de

Season Opening on 1.12.2007
The 90 cable cars and lifts in SkiWelt Wilder Kaiser-Brixental will enter the new 2007/2008 season with 180 km of slopes assured of snow – at least 100 km of which can be covered with snow in 3 days. And if there is also real snowfall by December, then SkiWelt’s excellent reputation as Austria’s largest ski resort, with over 250 km of interconnected slopes, will be completely justified.

The Best of SkiWelt Circuits
In addition to the vast number of slopes, there are 3 dream circuits – the Kaiser, Salve and Westendorf circuits – which spectacularly lead skiers and snowboarders to the most beautiful spots in SkiWelt. With these, depending on your fitness and ability, up to 4,000 m altitude difference can be descended.

Totally Nocturnal
The tireless can also carve around at night in Brixen, Ellmau and Söll thanks to floodlighting. The expansion of the night-time skiing offer by 3 further runs in Höchsöll is new this winter. Furthermore, the illuminated toboggan run is now equipped with a snow-making system there.

The Popular Ladies’ Ski Day
The pleasure of winter sports for women at children’s prices has already become a tradition at SkiWelt Wilder Kaiser-Brixental. In 2008 the Ladies’ Ski Day will again be on offer every Wednesday as of 9.1.2008.

Austria’s Lowest-Priced Ski Network
Everyone was surprised by this last season as well:
SkiWelt is not only Austria’s largest interconnected ski resort; of all of the comparable large-capacity regions, lift tickets are offered at the lowest prices here.
As always, children up to the age of 5 who are accompanied by an adult ride for free.

The Much Frequented Ski Bunny Club
The Ski Bunny forum has been very well received for years, enabling like-minded people to search for their ideal skiing or snowboarding companions on the internet at www.skiwelt.at beforehand. However, new friends can identify one another quickly on the slopes or in the traditional mountain lodges too by their Ski Bunny stickers. Then you will have twice as much fun in the snow.
