SCHEFFAU SKI HOLIDAYS

Scheffau is another of the ski holiday resorts that access the huge lift-linked ski area of Ski Welt Wilder Kaiser. It neighbours of Ellmau and Soll offer bigger resorts but Scheffau has a good deal to recommend it, principally the charming village. Scheffau has access to the heart of the Ski Welt Wilder Kaiser ski region and access is via two lifts that are located at the bottom of the ski piste running out of Scheffau. Being centrally located on the Ski Welt Wilder Kaiser, ski safaris from Scheffau to all the peripheral areas of the region are possible. For better skiers and boarders it is possible to ski into Westendorf (via the new gondola from Brixen) and on into the Kitzbuhel ski area.

SCHEFFAU SKI HOLIDAY INFO

The ski resort of Scheffau is attractive, compact and is centrally located in the Ski Welt Wilder Kaiser ski region. The main downside is the disconnection between the village of Scheffau and the ski lifts that access the ski area above Scheffau. Scheffau is charming but quiet and lacks the facilities of the bigger resorts. For intermediate skiers and those wanting to cover a lot of km’s then Scheffau is one of the best located ski areas within the Ski Welt Wilder Kaiser ski region. It is possible to reach the fringes of the Ski Welt Wilder Kaiser ski area and beyond from Scheffau. Advanced skiing around the Hohe Salve is also easy to access.

The skiing / snowboarding

Intermediate skiing
5 / 5  Good
Scheffau links up with all the neighbouring villiages by good access of cable cars, chair lifts and some T Bars. There are so many options of runs for intermediates that it would not be possible to enjoy them all in one week. Lots of bars and restuarants nestle among the mountains so you can easily find somewhere to stop and grab a bite to eat and drink while soaking up the views.

Scheffau is a quiet resort with few bars for evening nightlife, more suited for families. They have a very good Spar shop with reasonably priced goods.

Kids ski class
5 / 5  Good
Scheffau is brilliant for kids, especially the ski school. This is based at the top of the mountain so you don't have to keep skiing down to see how your angels are getting on. Brilliant instruction is provided for all abilities and they cater for several different languages. They take children as young as 4 and have a very good set up for them with lots of fun provided while learning.

As mentioned before probably not the resort to go to if you are looking for lively nightlife. The area at the bottom of the slopes can be entertaining at the end of the skiing day.

Scheffau is located off and above the main road through the valley making it quieter and more attractive. A ski piste leads from the centre of Scheffau to the lifts in the valley.

Scheffau is very relaxed and good for families although it is not as big as Ellmau just down the valley.
