Overview
One of the largest linked areas, gentle and great value.
The SkiWelt links a string of pretty Tyrolean villages such as Söll and Ellmau into one of the largest connected ski areas in the world. It is low, gentle and excellent value, which makes it a firm favourite for families and groups.

The resort guide
Know the mountain before you go.
The skiing
The terrain is almost all easy and intermediate, ideal for building confidence and racking up the miles, with strong snowmaking to cover the low altitude. Experts will want somewhere higher, but everyone else has a ball.
The village and the evenings
The villages are traditional and welcoming, with cosy huts on the mountain and a friendly after ski scene. It feels authentically Tyrolean.
