    Ski Areas in Westendorf

    Westendorf ski resort is home to some top-quality hotels and attracts every type and ability of skier. Beginners skiing can be easily accessed from the village, however, the upper slopes require a ski bus trip to the bottom of the gondola. More advanced skiers will find the powder between runs and under chairlifts a haven after fresh snowfall. Skiers wanting to explore the SkiWelt area can connect to Ellmau, Söll and other resorts.
