Beginners and newbies will enjoy the many easy (blue) pistes and medium-difficult (red) pistes, broad and spacious descents, practice lifts on the mountains and the family-friendly blue valley descent on the Hartkaiser. Numerous ski trails (Skiwege) make the difficult stretches easier and make descents in the SkiWelt Ellmau overall easier for less experienced skiers.

The ski school situated at the valley station offers optimal training for all winter sports fans.
SkiWelt Hopfgarten
Beginners and first-timers will find numerous opportunities in Hopfgarten: with ski schools and ski hire right next to the valley station of the gondola, and a nursery slope for practising those first turns also close by, getting started is a breeze. The many wide and well-groomed blue pistes on the slopes of the Hohe Salve are also ideal for beginners and for ski lessons, while less experienced skiers will enjoy the long – yet straightforward – run down into Hopfgarten.
SkiWelt Itter
Itter offers a particularly relaxed introduction to winter sports fun for first-timers: there are two lifts for beginners in the valley, one right next to the gondola lift and a second in the village with direct access to the valley station of the gondola. Here you can practise your first runs on the snow in comfort, free of any stress or pressure. There is also ski hire and a ski school located at the valley station.
SkiWelt Scheffau
Beginners will rejoice in the numerous blue, wide and sprawling slopes to be found here. The Scheffau ski resort is clearly marked and extremely manageable, making it a breeze for novices to get their bearings on the slopes around the Brandstadl. Even the blue run down to the valley is rather obliging to the less experienced skier.
SkiWelt Söll
Superb conditions await newcomers to winter sports. The “Hexenwiese” ski field in the valley provides the perfect terrain to try your first turns in the snow – and it’s free of charge too! Ski schools right by the top and bottom lift stations, plus a sports shop and equipment rental shop at the bottom station, make learning to ski a breeze. Whether you are completely new to winter sports or are returning to have another go, you will find the perfect equipment and professional instructors to get you cruising down the slopes. Hochsöll is a hotspot for ski schools – with slopes of various levels of difficulty, plenty of space for ski groups and numerous cosy mountain huts offering refreshments in between. The easy blue family run down to the valley is particularly enjoyable and the perfect way to end a strenuous day of skiing: not too difficult, not too long and family friendly.
SkiWelt Westendorf
Westendorf offers countless opportunities for beginners and newcomers too. The many ski trails and flatter slopes provide a stress-free setting for the less experienced winter sports enthusiast. Pistes 111 and 113, for example, are simple but stunningly beautiful panoramic valley runs.
