Best Ski Resort for Accommodation in Europe: Ellmau - SkiWelt - Accommodation Options Rating

Ellmau offers fantastic accommodation choices that our users consistently praise. One Snomad community member who's visited for 20 years highlights the range of options available. The village provides everything from hotels and boutique establishments to apartments and AirBnBs, all at competitive prices. Jon, an advanced skier, recommends opting for apartments rather than full-board packages so you can enjoy the local restaurants. Emma describes the accommodations as "lovely," while Ella notes that the "picturesque" village has "many outstanding accommodation options." With fast access to the slopes, it's an ideal base for skiers of all abilities.

#2 St. Johann - Alpendorf - Accommodation Options Rating

St. Johann-Alpendorf offers top-notch accommodation that consistently impresses our Snomad community. Many options provide convenient ski-in/ski-out access, a major plus for those wanting to maximise slope time. One Snomad user, James, who returns yearly as an intermediate snowboarder, praises the "good selection of ski-in and out hotels near the slopes." Other users highlight the excellent value, with Nick mentioning he "got great accommodation at a knockdown price." The resort area has accommodation suited for various budgets, though it's worth noting that, as Desiree points out, staying during the Christmas break provides a particularly wonderful experience.

#3 Levi - Accommodation Options Rating

Accommodation in Levi receives high marks from our community. Most users appreciate the convenient setup where lodgings are typically an easy walk to the lifts, with options to store your kit at the bottom of the slopes. An advanced snowboarder who's visited for ten consecutive years notes the consistent yearly improvements to the resort. The variety suits different needs, from family-friendly options to those catering to more serious riders. One Snomad community member liked that despite being a smaller resort, Levi balances quality accommodation with the ability to experience other winter activities beyond just skiing and boarding.
