Austria’s biggest linked area of slopes is the SkiWelt, which is shared by Söll, Hopfgarten, Brixen and Ellmau. All the resorts offer low prices by current standards, especially when considering the quality and variety of terrain, however Ellmau combines an attractive, traditional village feel, cheaper accommodation with reasonably convenient access to the slopes.
Aside from the genuine blacks at the top of Söll’s Hohe Salve, the SkiWelt offers is a vast area of easy cruising on pleasantly wooded slopes. The lifts are efficient, as is the snowmaking, which is necessary for the relatively low altitudes.
