SkiWelt Ellmau
Wide pistes in the winter sun and downhill runs for every level
Enter the ski area directly and discover everything that makes your day of skiing perfect in the SkiWelt Ellmau: wide, sunny pistes and varied valley runs in several variants. The Hartkaiser 10-seater gondola lift with extra-slow entry makes it easy for beginners to access the ski area.
The wide pistes of the Köglbahn and Almbahn lifts are particularly popular for carving turns in the sun. There are several valley runs with varying degrees of difficulty. The demanding "Black East" and the unprepared "White-Kögel" run are sporting challenges.
For families with children who are not yet able to ski, there is the "Ellmi's Kids Club" with indoor childcare right at the mountain station. Children who can already ski can use the "Vetterstätt" practice slope and the "Kirchbichl lift" in the village centre with their own ski pass in addition to the magic carpets on the mountain. Adventurous children can head to SkiWelt Ellmau to the "Funslope" with a route through the forest and tunnels or to the "Kaiserpark" with small kickers, boxes and rails.
