Ski Resort Info > Ellmau

Ellmau is a popular ski resort on the northern side of the massive SkiWelt area. While Söll may be the best-known resort for skiers, and Brixen and Hopfgarten popular in non-English-speaking countries, Ellmau has gained a reputation of being a favorite ski destination for families of English speakers.

The village is in an attractive setting just off the main road between St Johann and Wörgl. It provides good ski access to the neighboring Brixen and Scheffau areas as well as having a good selection of runs above the village and across at the nearby village of Going.

Ellmau is another historic farming settlement which was first mentioned in the 12th century and fought over by invading troops in the time of Napoleon. It was also an important stop on the postal network, as well as being a vital link on the route between Innsbruck and Salzburg.

These days, Ellmau is an attractive resort which can boast stunning views of the Wilder Kaiser mountains above the resort on the opposite side of the valley and Austria's largest linked ski area on the mountains at the back of the village.

Like many of the neighbouring villages, Ellmau originally offered mainly guesthouse accommodation and private rooms, but these days it also provides luxury accommodation at the other end of the price scale, with one of the only five-star hotels in the surrounding area.

The ski slopes start at the back of the village and head up via the impressive Hartkaiser mountain tram into the main SkiWelt area or, alternatively, off to the east and the smaller area above Going.
