About Ellmau
Ellmau is one of the prettiest entry points into the SkiWelt — Austria's largest interconnected ski area at 280km of piste linking eight villages around the Wilder Kaiser mountain range. The village itself is a classic Tyrolean hamlet at 820m with a picturesque onion-domed church, and its gentle lower slopes feed directly into the wider SkiWelt circuit that includes Going, Söll, Brixen im Thale, and Westendorf. At 45 minutes from Innsbruck and with an outstanding children's ski school, Ellmau consistently earns its reputation as one of Austria's most welcoming family destinations.
