Have enjoyed skiing at all the SkiWelt resorts, but Ellmau is a particular favorite. Nice mix of terrain for different levels of skier (not so much for advanced), great restaurant selection, fast lifts and gondolas, easy access point to Scheffau, Going, Brixen-in-Thal, many convenient housing options (hotels, boutique establishments, AirBnB, etc.). And all for a really good price.

Lovely resort but some of the ski lifts are a little outdated. Sometimes they struggle to keep on top of the mountains but not sure if it's difficult weather conditions to keep on top of them? The restaurants are quaint. Didn't feel like a British destination as they weren't very fluent in English compared to some other resorts in Austria.
