Good
skiers will be pleased with the expanse and satisfied with the varying
degrees for challenge. Immediately above Scheffau, the skiing is varied
but tending to be most appealing to the fairly experienced recreational
skier.
There are some bumpy
runs which should please better punters, and plenty of scope for
beginners.
Scheffau has
it’s own lift pass, and holders of that item, as well as village
guests with the larger all inclusive pass, get priority entrance to the
lift system from the Scheffau starting pint.
The lift pass for the whole area costs in the neighborhood of
1,300 Austrian Schillings for a six day period. The pass which covers Scheffau only is much cheaper. Scheffau has it’s own capable ski school which has enough
English speaking teachers as well as ski kindergarten.
Although
the village is both spread out and on the quiet side, there is plenty of
very pleasant après ski activity. It is therefore and ideal destination for families, clubs and
others who would like to sample a bit of Austrian life without high
prices and high tourist profile.
Munich
and Innsbruck are the best airports. Cross into Austria at Kufstein if you are coming by car.
