SkiWelt Scheffau
The hub in the heart of the SkiWelt
SkiWelt Scheffau is located in the centre of SkiWelt Wilder Kaiser - Brixental and is the central starting point for the ski area. From here you can start in the direction of Ellmau, continue to KiWest via Brixen or change to Söll.
Beginners can use the wide practice slopes right at the start, which are particularly popular with ski schools. Advanced skiers and experts will find sporting challenges - from the demanding valley run to the wide carving slopes on the Kummerer, Mulden, Eiberg and Aualm. They also have a direct connection to the entire ski area.
From the Brandstadlbahn mountain station, there is a striking view of the Wilder Kaiser. From the Osthangbahn, you can see the open, sunny pistes and the summit of the Hohe Salve. At the "Eiberg-Treff", you can enjoy a 360° panoramic view of the surrounding mountains.
