  We had a fabulous week in Ellmau last Febraury and are off there again on Saturday. There are runs for all levels and the lists are all good apart from the scary T Bars. Views from the top at Ellmau and Scheffau are stunning. Ski instructors evening is a nice local touch. We have also been to Ellmau in the summer when the walking is amongst the best in Austria with lots of lifts to take you to the top so that you can walk on the tops of the mountains. There also more challenging and beautiful walks on the other side of the valley.

  Just got back from a weeks skiing in Ellmau, 14-21 Jan 2006. Pretty little town, lots of friendly Dutch and English people. We stayed at the Alpenhof, run by Crystal, the hotel was not very Austrian, but could not fault the staff, they were always very friendly and helpful. Not the best resort for "learn to ski", the nursery slopes at the bottom are fine, but change a bit too dramatically once at the top! (As some of the beginners in our family found). Those of us that have skied before thoroughly enjoyed skiing over to other resorts with the local ski school.

  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!!

  Have just finished working in Ellmau and have had a fantastic season. With over 150km of wide open piste, there is something there to suit everyone, whether just learning or advanced. It is the largest interconnecting ski area in austria, enabling you to ski from Ellmau to scheffau, Soll, itter, Hopfgarten and many more.... The village itself is small but very friendly and like the ski area has something for everyone. All the hotels are of an excellent standard and there are also Crystal chalets and a Club Hotel. The Hartkaiser ski school is one of the best in Ellmau and their hire equipment is top quality.
  For an all round excellent holiday, go to Ellmau!

  My wife and I have just spent an amazing week at Ellmau on a learn to ski holiday (28 /2 to 6/3) We had a great time at skischool (Ellmau Hartkaiser Skischool) Our instructor was a great Dutch guy called Andre who taught us lots and made us laugh too .Conditions were perfect . We stayed at the Christoph Hotel and the food was the best hotel food we have ever eaten , it was fantastic (free wine too !) The free skibus stopped a two minute walk from the hotel and dropped us about a hundred metres from the skischool meeting place . We met some really great people, and had a wonderful holiday . Will go back there again one day for sure . Its a great place for first timers with wide , gentle slopes in the vally. Scenery from the top of the Hartkaiser funicular railway is something else !!
