SkiWelt Wilder Kaiser-Brixental
Winter Fun For All Ages

Experience the diversity of Tirol in one of the largest, most modern and, above all, most ecological ski areas in the world.

Big, bigger, SkiWelt! The eight villages of Brixen im Thale, Ellmau, Going, Hopfgarten, Itter, Scheffau, Söll, and Westerndorf form one of Austria's largest and most modern ski resorts in Austria: SkiWelt Wilder Kaiser-Brixental boasts 275 km of groomed slopes and 20 valley descents. Here, your winter dreams will come true, all in one place!

Blue slopes for the beginners, black ones for the daredevils, fun parks (and witches!) for the kids and tobogganing runs for everyone - you name it, SkiWelt has it all. What's more, there are plenty of pitstop opportunities in between. Every 3,5 km of slopes you'll find a family-owned hut or mountain inn, spoiling you with Tyrolean delights while you rest your legs in a deck chair. And to make the deal even better, SkiWelt is also one of the most sustainable winter resorts in the world, having run by 100% green energy for more than 20 years.

Enjoy the moment, embrace the variety and the Austrian lifestyle, the "Lebensgefühl" - That's winter holidays the SkiWelt way!
