    More about the skiing in Scheffau

  • So what's it like?

    Families, skiers & boarders - an all round winner!

    Set against a backdrop of the stunning Wilder Kaiser mountains, Scheffau is part of the Ski Welt, the largest linked ski-area in Austria. It has a family atmosphere and traditional Austrian charm, whilst the skiing is varied and interesting, offering a great range of intermediate runs and more challenging pistes. Beginners are also well catered for - the wide blue slopes make this a superb place to learn.

    Ski information

    Beginners

    The nursery slopes are situated at the top of the Brandstadl gondola. Wide, gentle runs give the perfect setting for learning to ski. Daredevil novices may even find the home run back to the valley floor manageable by the end of the week.

    Intermediates

    The Brandstadl gondola is the access point for intermediate skiers onto the Ski Welt circuit, with a fantastic range of scenic runs fanning out in every direction from the summit. The area pass covers 93 lifts in total - even the most adventurous intermediate should find a different challenge every day.

    Advanced

    Expert skiers will find plenty to choose from both on and off-piste. For an end of day challenge, try the Moderer run. Unpisted, this can provide excellent powder at the top, followed by a challenging mogul field before a final sweep down to the valley floor.
