Best Runs in Scheffau - SkiWelt
Scheffau sits in the heart of the SkiWelt and gives you access to some brilliantly varied terrain across the whole area. Here's what you'll find carving-worthy:
-
Tannfeld (Blue): A long, flowing blue that runs from the Brandstadl summit all the way back to Scheffau village, perfect for building confidence over its 4.5km length.
-
Osthang (Blue): This wide, cruisy run from Brandstadl offers proper carving opportunities with consistent gradient and usually holds snow well thanks to its easterly aspect.
-
Tanzboden (Blue): A mellow connector run that links Scheffau to the wider SkiWelt network, ideal for warming up or cooling down without any nasty surprises.
-
Eiberg (Red): A properly fun red that drops from the Eiberg summit with some playful gradient changes and decent width for laying down turns.
-
Marchgraben (Red): This run from Brandstadl to Aualm packs in some genuinely challenging sections with steeper pitches that'll test your technique without being terrifying.
-
Schusterbühel (Red): A brilliant tree-lined red run that offers a bit of shelter on snowy days and features some lovely swooping sections through the forest.
-
Astberg (Black): The only black run directly accessible from Scheffau, this short but sharp descent from Astberg delivers a proper leg-burner with consistently steep gradient that separates the confident from the cautious.
