This resort is in the Ski Welt area, which is one of the largest in Austria, with a total of 250km of pistes. However, its component parts make the area much similar, as it's essentially made up of a number of smaller, lift or bus linked resorts.
Ellmau (with 55km of runs) is probably the quietest of the resorts, with skiing that largely caters to the beginner and family market.
There are great nursery slopes and a good ski school, although classes can be big.
There is also reasonable cruising for intermediates of medium ability. Boarders will also find the Ski Welt a good place to learn, but there is only one park and half-pipe in the area (at Soll).
Unfortunately, Ellmau and its neighbours suffer from a poor snow record. They have tried to increase natural snow with new snowmaking facilities, but it still remains a problem and queues often are a result.
Ellmau village itself is traditional, quiet and full of ambience.
