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 SkiWelts' 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, offered 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.

Visitor Reviews of Westendorf


Graham Gibson from UNITED KINGDOM writes:

Well, what can I say, just returned from Westendorf, what a BIG disappointment.
Once voted the prettiest village in Europe, who else was in contention, Chernobyl? Seriously though, the village is nowhere near as pretty as some other Austrian and also other European resorts. Full of closed cafes and a few bars. The cafes that we're open felt like it was a real effort to serve (maybe they are all fed up with the bad snow this year?) Even the sports shops seemed to be half cooked compared to other Austrian resorts. Stayed at the hotel Schermer. Lovely hotel with very friendly staff and excellent facilities. However, the food selection was not up to some other Austrian hotels.
No snow upon arrival. I felt like a right fool unloading skis and ski boots on a June day (well thats what it felt like temp wise). Fairly good snow at the top of the Talkaser towards Fleiding and Gampen, also great snow over at Brixen im Thale, but after about 11 am it was very slushy. A lot of the runs were down to the mud. No wonder they call them the chocolate runs. Unbelievable number of runs if the snow was around but I cannot see me returning unless we get back to the old style winters with snow a plenty.
