So what's it like?
A delightful resort at the heart of Austria's largest ski area
Ellmau has, without doubt, one of the prettiest settings in our programme - nestling between the Kitzbüheler Alps and the majestic Wilder Kaiser mountains. The relaxed village centre has a range of shops and is dotted with cosy bars and cafés. In the local area, the Astberg skiing has some good runs and gives great views of the Kitzbühel valley. For the more adventurous the Hartkaiser links you into the fantastic Ski Welt circuit linking 8 resorts with 279km of piste. You'll find a great atmosphere both in the rustic cabins and covered bars on the mountain and down in the lively village bars. Ellmau really is a great choice of resort for everyone!
